<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On Isa Lei, I use a block and fall to go
aloft. I hoist it on the main halyard, and use the spinnaker halyard as my
back up. The tackle is five part, so when rigged for going aloft I have a
4:1 purchase. I can go up alone, if FORCED, but prefer to have someone on
deck hoist me. This way I can assist in going up and also control my rate
of decent. All I have to do is keep a hand around the tackle, it can't run
if I tighten my grip. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also as people from the fall cruise, a couple years
ago, will remember it can get quite a strain when rigged from a masthead to
an anchor set on a long scope. Helps heal a boat to pull it
off.</FONT></DIV>
