Default Re: Ace Master Lowering and rigging no.2

Sounds like Lewmar and Harken need to come up with a winch for arborists.

The self tailing and two speed idea is great however the bollard shape is the problem ... it is short, curved and bunches/overlaps the rope where as the Hobbs and THS devices have a cylindrical shaped bollard.

Interesting, maybe TM can start a thread and summon the experts for the Tree World version.
