Thanks, I found your earlier post most valuable as I was experimenting w/ a descent on prussiks... they were very difficult to ease and slide down, almost every time. I went up and down some 6 feet...

Going aloft on a static line

Hi,
I am planning to go aloft solo, on a pair of prussiks on a static line, employing a mechanism similar to that used by ATN's Topclimber product. For a secondary line I'm thinking of using a spare...

All done

Thanks all for the constructive advice.

Guess there had to be a downside. Yes, the aluminum ground off like butter, but interestingly did not clog the grinder wheel. I could see why that would be a...

Hi again..

Exit Plate Chafe, Dimensions

A fellow T-10 owner has a couple of exits and a couple of seasons ago his headsail halyard had the cover badly chafed at the exit. I thought it might have been the plate but I'm now guessing the exit...

Masthead Strain Relief

Hi folks,
