[C320-list] Two Quick Questions

[Bob Borelli]

I replaced the combined Steaming Light / Deck Light fixture on the forward side of the mast by leaning a 16' foot aluminum ladder on the mast & spreaders.  Ladder legs on the cabin top, ratchet strapped lower rung to the lower mast, so ladder did not sled forward off cabin top, climbed up & strapped rung to mast and spreaders, replaced fixture with new.

Thanks, Karl.  Good info!  I'll take this to my local club and see how the
modifiers work here on the southern Chesapeake Bay.
