Brion - I sense that you disapprove of self lowering in a bosun's chair altogether, but do I take it that you would prefer using the Munter hitch? It is certainly easier to form "one handed".

The real use of a lowering hitch on a chair is when sanding and varnishing a mast, or slathering something on standing rigging, as I personally feel safer doing it myself rather than endlessly calling a helper (who is bound to become bored, and perhaps careless) to resecure every 18 inches.
