Does anyone have any recommendations for mast climbing, particularly on the
baba 30, it's on my list of tasks, I have a bosuns chair which I have called
into practice a few times, but that was with hefty crews from neighboring
boats doing the winching, not so sure my partner will be too keen on
winching me up offshore.

I fancy ratlines between the aft shrouds to get me to the spreaders
(Aluminum mast) then possibly steps for the top part of the mast.

I will always be sailing solo, or shorthanded, so the bosuns chair is not
really the best option.

Hi Paul,

I'm not quite sure I understand the 'crazy' bit? Is it me, my drawing, or my
boat?

Anyway, for anyone still interested, I have the boat back in the water,
everything is great and I will be leaving Liverpool to start my adventure of
crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean next month, taking about 6 months
calling into Kinsale Ireland, La Corunna Spain, Vilamoura Portugal and Las
Palmas Gran Canaria before the big leg in November to St Lucia.

Consequently, the power tools have left the boat, along with many kilos of
Epoxy, tools , paints, wood etc. The second anchor is stowed in the bilge
and the liferaft has been moved aft. Now she is closer to a sailing boat
than a workshop, the bow has risen some 2 inches out of the water. I expect
if I was a bit cleverer I could work out what that does to the CG, but who
cares, I just want to get sailing now.

All the best
