Bosun Harness
As I returned my bosun harness to WM due to the recall, I am in search of another. What do you think of this one?

Petzl Canyon Harness from REI.com

The real problem with that harness is it is hot on a summer day. black vinyl around your butt heats up.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

EO32 is on a distinguished road
I have a REI climbing harness, not like that one, for a safety harness while using my bosan chair.

I got it thinking it could be a primary harness, but the problem is the way you sit in a bosan chair is upright, making it easy to work on mast issues. The climbing harness causes you to lean out more and is not very comfortable when trying to be upright.

Hey Max-

Don't bother with that. I have a Taylor Made I will sell you cheap. Found it in the garbage. D ring had been torn out but I got her all sewed back up and she looks brand new again... except for the big brown spot in the seat that would not come out. Not sure what that is, really.

But hey... that is why you are getting a DISCOUNTED price. Little dirt or smudges never hurt anyone.

I am 6' 2" and 220 I have asked my buddies to haul me up the mast and they all say "I would rather you haul me up" So I do I don't worry to much about the quality of bosun's chair. But I do keep the deck wet as it easier to clean if "something happens."

Dog, if you ask them to wax the deck before you haul them up, would that not be taking advantage of them. LOL
