Anyone coming to Pirate weekend and have a bosuns chair?

[Otter]

I was re-rigging the halyards and the mousing line for the spinny halyard has tripped over the sheeve at the top of the mast /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif . I need to run the spinny halyard up and the only way I can do it is if I, or someone else /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif , goes up the mast to ease the halyard through the sheeve. The cat will be aground at Stone Point so it's an ideal time to do it, anyone able to help?

I do hope that your winches have been upgraded. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Don't forget to supply camera before winching commences.... I can confirm that several shots of your deck with a set of deck shoes in the middle of the picture will be delivered..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Use a climbing harness. Then the photographer can hang upside down to avoid getting their tootsies in the shot.

This photographer can easily manage to invert a Bosuns Chair. No special equipment needed. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

After looking up at Lindsey's derriere in Ostend this is going to be a big disappointment. I used the word big advisedly /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Climbing harness at your service - much more comfortable than bosun's chair.

 

[Otter]

Thanks and thanks to Ali for the harness if FC wants it. We've got the main halyard to lift and the topping lift as safety. A pair of Gibb winches on the mast to do the work and a fridge full of beer /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'll help Alan hold the beers..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Auntie Helen]

Yep, great photo opportunities... but remember to clear rubbish and random dogs off the deck first!

 

[CPD]

But where do the beer holders stand ?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

In the pub of course........

That's not a deck, its a dance floor! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

mmmmmmm ................ Stone Point ? ........ I say we hijack one of the tents, put a "The Pirate's Cave" banner (or any other made-up pirate named pub) over it and pretend. That'd do nicely.

Does this mean I'm going to have to clean the deck? Damn, now there'll be no time for banjo practice.

If it weren't for the distance/accessability/lack of transport, I could borrow the scout marquee and tables... sixty people would justify it!

As you can see from photo Mrs Chellers posted, we also have a set of webbing mast-track ladders you could borrow if the track is the same size.

Cheers,
