[C320-list] Bos'n Chair?

[drshoffner at aol.com]

I'm a real fan of the Top Climber.? With a minimum amount of practice I'm now able to go up the mast in a matter of a few minutes with one rest break.? All that's required is someone taking up the slack in the safety (spinnaker halyard) as I ascend, and playing it out as I descend.? It's a bit pricey, but I feel it's well worth it.

Well, I gotta climb the mast to do a minor repair job - halyard guide for the 
jib became unriveted from the top of the mast - 

Any suggestions on the best and safest and easist way to get to the top and get 
the job done?

Has anyone used the ATN Top Climber?  What are your experiences with these or 
any other chairs.  I say chairs, but how about mast steps that go up through the 
mainsail track?   

What other maintenance items should I consider before, and while I'm up there?

Thanks in advance for any help and assistance.

Frank
