[Rhodes22-list] Q about topping lift

[Lou Rosenberg]

Rob
  Thanks .  This seems the most logical way for me to proceed.   A 
small block on an aft mounted bail.
  My Harken furler's air swivel  definitely needs to be connected to a 
halyard.  The headstay goes to the top of my masthead.   I absolutely 
promise pics of this by next Weds which believe me seems like an 
eternity away as I am totally obsessed with getting this boat sailing 
already!

thanks all for your ideas and feedback!
  Lou
