I have for years wondered how to get up my mast alone, without bathering anyone winching me.
It is important when you do solo sailing, to have access to all parts of the boat, especially the mast if something gets loose or need fixing up there.
I finnaly caught up with a methode called “sit-climbing”, using professional climbing gear to get up the boats own halyard.
It was incredibly easy, even for me with my 110 kg bodyweight!
All you need is a climbing harness, a couple of shackles, a grigri (first version), and a accender/jumar with a foot strap.
For safety you also need to put up a security line to a second halyard.
To set this up with the right knots have a look at this video:
Hope you enjoy!
