[Rhodes22-list] Q about topping lift

[Lou Rosenberg]

Mike
  my mast is made by Dwyer.  I do have a bail on the fwd end which I 
suppose could have been used for a separate block to fly a spinnaker. 
I would rather use a customized aft block to run the topping lift 
since its really just a control line of sorts.  The headsail furler 
needs to use a halyard according to the Harken directions.

It seems doable to add another bail on the aft end of the masthead 
for the topping lift. Your ideas?
