[quote=stevefisherkeller]It's not perfect, but you can use the mainsheet. We used to sail with a big guy "Smitty" he did not have the upper body strength to get himself on board, and I don't think Gov Arnold S could have lifted him in his prime. After a capsize his crew said he had taken the mainsheet off, attached it to the trapese & trap harness and lifted him up, 8:1 & 400 pounds is a possibility.
Quick release shackles, and a roller furler for the jib make doing this easier.
Hope this helps[/quote]
