Nice of you to chime in Brion. I am enjoying your DVD's (3) and books (2).
I decided to go with two Harken blocks just in case I need the mechanical advantage: a 1572 ratchet block with becket for the mast head and a 1549 ratchet block attached to my harness.
The blocks are rated for 9/16's maximum diameter line. In the DVD the rope you are using to haul yourself up appears to be quite thick, perhaps one inch and easy to grip. What size is it?
Fair vines.
