Get a teenager to do it. Much lighter and less knowledgable. The teenager will love the ride up the mast and will have a great conversation with you from the mast top to the deck. Then after you lower him down you will go up anyway because the teenager didn’t know how to do it …
The 30-1 has a telephone pole for a mast. Very stable boat. Remember the loads also on your main halyards when pulling that up. You are fine. Make sure any tools are well secured Mike From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of S Thomas via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, June 06, 2015 11:52 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: S Thomas Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C30-1 climb to top of mast? Bowlines don't work so good with wire, but I have followed the same procedure otherwise. Bought an ascender based "Mast Climber" at a boat show last year, but have not tried it out yet.

You use two halyards; you go up on the main; the jib is used as a spare. Don't use the clips; tie bowlines.

On larger boats we send someone up the mast to retrieve halyards etc, but has anyone done this on a 30-1? I wonder if 200lbs at the top to install a new windex is too much of a risk of damage or injury. Has anyone lived to tell the story?
