[Rhodes22-list] Mast raising

[S/V Lark]

I’d assume 4200 or even 5200 since it will never move.    Stress on the block 
is down and aft not up.   The line to the bow cleat effectively continues to
the lower shroud via the winch, so the cleat takes the upward stress,    The
pole redirects it only.    Until Stan wakes up, I don’t think the book needs
to be able to carry a load, it just needs to not slide.   
If yours is behaving differently, it may have an unexpected stress -
something snagged?
