Bob reminded me of two mods I made that have been successful so I haven't had the problem they were designed to prevent or circumvent.
I added a masthead spinnaker bail made from a 1/2-in. diameter ss u-bolt. It has a heavy-duty Lewmar roller-bearing block attached with a 1/8-in. dacron pull string running through it from chain plate to chain plate. If I have to go aloft I use a dedicated 7/16-in. dacron line that runs from the rock climbing seat harness through the masthead block down to a large snatch block at the base of one of the foredeck stanchions then back to one of the large sheet winches in the cockpit.

That's a great idea. How did you attach the u-bold to the mast?
