>>I can see that this will take some rehearsal (TSR) without the dog (WD). Until I get my R22 I can only envision this...I think a strong tether for the dog and me (STFDAM) should be added to my onboard supply kit (and attachment points added on deck and in the cockpit.)

>>I would try the end after you make sure the topping lift is well secured, but keep the boom from swinging out too far. In retrieving Fido, you would be on the same side as the boom, so you wouldn't want to tilt to dog (TTD) any more than you have to. If you did, and fell overboard yourself (EOB), you have many new options to ponder, none especially positive (NEP).

>>BTW, you could use a boom vang rig, or simply use the main sheet rig for your pulleys, just detach from the traveler and keep the boom end attached. I'm sure that Stan, fearless leader and sage, designed it all this way considering DOB situations like yours. Isn't he wonderful?
