I am thinking of either Mastmate which is a nylon foot loops that use the
ast track or Mastclimber that climbs the halyard. Does anyone have a
reference/recommendation?
The question remains, will a 250# person tip the boat over? Not that this
erson will be swinging from side to side. He just doesn't want any
urprises.
Thanks
