bowline to attach the topping lift to the ring on the MastMate instead of the topping shackle for
safety reasons. On board I also have a Top Climber (which uses a dedicated line tied to the
foredeck and a mountain climbing rig to ascend solo up the line. The MastMate has the
advantage of keeping you close to the mast the entire time, so you can service items at whatever
height, while the Top Climber doesn’t put you near the mast until you are essentially at the
masthead. A bosun’s chair is aboard for speedier set up and climbing when there is adult
assistance.
The MastMate comes with a nice belt to keep you strapped to the mast, and also to carry supplies
and tools. Always bring:
§ Rigging tape
§ 4-way screwdriver
§ channel locks
§ small tap hammer
§ Boeshield
§ Camera
§ Rag
§ Gloves can also be a good idea
Additional items to consider:
Knee pads
Halyard tied next to mast to provide a little something to clip on or grab if needed
Wear traditional cushioned life vest to protect against swinging into the mast.
Helm Step
Optional accessory from HR Parts. The previous owner had installed one, but it broke and I
strongly prefer the cockpit without it.
Squeegee
Keep a small squeegee in the cockpit for wiping down the dodger windows when they get
splashed.
Aft Lazarette
On the forward bulkhead on each side, a 1”x2” teak strip is mounted with rope holders every ~8
inches for storage of spinnaker sheets, staysail sheets and other lines. The bottom of the lazarette
is lined with dry-deck. Several milk crates and other plastic storage containers are stored there
as well.
