So what you are saying is that on these boats, to retireve the end of the halyard from up the mast all we have to do is walk - no need for a bosun's chair.
It's a vision of the future...
And it's all your fault - you've spent so much time and effort in arguing about col regs on these forums, that emergency brakes are going to be fitted to all craft. - However, early trials are a little disappointing.
