<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, This IS the problem. Almost any sailor can
crank a winch to get me up the mast. It takes more knowledge and skill to
SAFELY lower someone slowly. Too many sailors are too used to just throwing
the lines off of a winch when tacking or lowering a sail and don't understand
how to control a descent. "Gee it wasn't slipping, so I took another
turn off"</FONT></DIV>
