Looks simple enough, but I wouldn't want to stress my
mast hardware (ie sheaves, etc), standing
rigging, chain plates, and halyards with these huge loads. I doubt that masts are designed for that kind of vertical load. If something breaks it may not be immediately obvious (setting up an ugly
dismasting or blown
halyard later), and would certainly not be
cheap to fix. Just MHO - I'd consider an outside
passage, or shortening my
mast if you really want to use the
ICW a lot. Guess I'm just a Nervous Nellie.
