Parts arriving for the Mast Mate climbing ladder

sailslugsAfter tinkering a little bit with my “climbing board” idea mentioned last month, I decided to spend a few more dollars and rig a Mast Mate climbing ladder with sail slugs to fit Encore’s mast. My liveaboard buddy Mark measured my Selden slugs and sent me a drawing so I ordered enough slugs to fit a web ladder.

Along with the 42’  Mast Mate web ladder liosted on eBay, the deal included a toolbag and strap system called the Workbelt.

I’m anxious to get the new slugs installed and hoist the ladder up the mast, but thinking it might be a good idea to lose a few pounds before climbing the mast?
