Slings
Hi again,
You can get the slings made to any length and weight, and they keep the more common ones in stock. The continuous ones are cheaper, and would be all you would need. Get one long enough for at least four passes around your mast, and tie a Sling Hitch: use up most of the length making tight, adjacent turns around the spar, then pass the bottom bight up through the top one, and pull down. You'll need to work any slack out, and orient everything so the lead is forward. If you aren't fully confident with this hitch, make it above the upper shroud throughbolt.
Fair leads,
Brion
PS,
Thanks for the kind words
