Actually, I am so impressed with both of you there is no way I could in all fairness delete this thread.
<br>Good luck with the ring, although I am one that would not have an extra release halyard flopping around on my mast. I can certainly understand your concerns about masthead locks - few work properly.
<br>The only boat I ever had that worked was the Nacra 6.0 -- everytime it went up it hooked, and with a slight pull and twist it was down. Not so the Hobies I have had, or any other design.
<br>
<br>By the way! I would recommend running an adv. in our classifieds, if nothing else -- Cost is only $10. Just skip a MacDonalds lunch one day a month.
<br>
<br>The other is our Auction Page. Seems strange to me that it has not yet caught on. The cost is minimal and it is great way to get things off the shelf, out of the shed, or whatever.
<br>
<br>Good luck with your Hook.
<br>

<br>PS: Maybe masthead locks were the reason ladders were invented.
