Using "dynamic" rope as a safety line

[Brion Toss]

Hello,
Dynamic rope was developed for the long leads that climbing entails. The idea is that you might have to climb some distance, putting slack into your belay, before you can establish a secure location. This means that if you fall, it is likely that you will fall a significant distance before the line takes your weight. A static line's shock load can maim or kill.
But in yacht rigging -- and many other climbing applications, there is usually no reason ever to have a slack line, or a fall of more than a few inches. Hook that ascender carabiner directly to your harness.
Anyway, I also hoist my climbing rope on one of the boat's halyards, and either have a crewmember or an ascender on the safety. I pull myself up using a ratchet block.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
