The last five years I have more and more trouble with my arthrosic hands. Guess that this is the price which you have to pay as an 70 year old sailor.
But still, it became a growing problem when hoisting my old sail through the mastgroove which has some critical dents. And last but not least with uprighting my mast via this rope and lever system. Especially in doing this uprighting you have to grip multi times a line which is under high tension.
Tried everything on the market but was not willing to pay over 100 dollar for it.
So finally found recently the ultimo device for it in a French shipyard for half the money:

In one word its super, super. Works ultimo! Should have bought this years ago.
Unfortunatly its sold in the states for double the price:
