Up the Mast


A well earned  selfie. 
Climbing the mast to fix the wind index

During the recent stepping of the mast, one of the Davis Windex reflective tracking tabs became dislodged and has been hanging freely since.   I had already climbed the mast 4 times using the ATN Mastclimber, but the climb was always on the fore side of the mast.   So this time,  the 5th time,  was up aft of the mast, and it was to simply snap the Windex reflective tracking tab back onto the wire hanger.  Here are some photos taken 51' above the water.


A bird's eye view of a C&C Landfall 38
and a Pearson 28-2 (to starboard).

An aft view.
The ATN Mastclimber's storage bag also
clips on for use as a handy tool bag.

This older version of the ATN Mastclimber
must have a halyard fed through the
jammers or the use of a separate dedicated
line incase of halyards with end splices
that prevent line feed through
(as shown here).
