[Rhodes22-list] Lowering the mast with Stan's hoist system

[John Blackburn]

Bob,

One area I had and issue with last year is the block on the cabin top that
the winch attaches to. Mine came off when I was about 2/3 of the way up. It
only slides so far due to the rope that is attached to the bow -still scary.

My guess was the bolts that hold the block to the bolt had loosened - I
bought longer ones and reattached with some epoxy underneath and seems fine
now.

So you might want to check that the bolts that secure the block are tight.

Regards
