Ok, I have Google and a calculator and am waiting for aa battery to charge, so here goes: Out of an estimated 34 million boats worldwide, 2,550,148 are sailboats. Of the sailboats, *assuming* 20 percent, or 510,029, of those are 25 feet or over and have a mast that is “climb-able” vs lending itself to unstepping for maintenance and inspection. *Assuming* each has had an average of three still-living owners and two of those owners have climbed their mast at least once. that means around 1,020,058 people have climbed their own mast and another 50,000 marine professionals have done so on customer boats. We have then an estimated 1,070,058 people, out of all people in the world, who have climbed a mast. Out of a world population of 7.951 billion, that means only 1.3 out of every 10,000 have gone up the mast. Bad to the bone indeed!
The dude is a pro... I have gone up my mast, but looking at him, I have a lot to learn! I had Amy "lift" me up the mast, and it damn near killed her. This dude was at the top before I got tired!
