FS - Mast Climber

[Rico]

Essentially new condtion. "Captail Al's Mast climber" Made in USA

This is a webbing based mast climber that attaches to your sailtrack to essentially provide a ladder to climb your mast. It is very handy and simple to use. I have the 36' version which would work for up to a 40' mast.

The Climber is a pretty basic but basic idea... It is basically a webbing ladder you thread onto your sailtrack. and hoist-up with the halyard.

- This particular one was featured on "Good old boat" magazine a while back.

It is the best convenient alternative to installing mast steps on your mast...              

A mast ladder has most of the advantages of the fixed mast steps, without the drawbacks of windage, aesthetics, and halyard fouling. It allows for the simplicity of climbing steps...

It works very nicely. You can get your shoulders level with the top of the mast so you can actually do work at the very top. Most mast climbers fail at this... I used it only a few times to fix my windex after hitting a bird, and to check my rigging a couple of times. I really liked it - AND it is much cheaper than many inferior alternatives.

You can use this by yourself without strong grinders to hoist you up on a chair... and it will get your hands to work the very top of the mast. It is very practical. No time to set-up or stow away. It has steps at every 12" so it is easy to climb, and has even steps at the top (pictured) so you can stand comfortably.

Offering for $100 to this group! I was thinking e-bay, but this is great for Ariels / Commanders!
