several years ago I saw Mike Kneafsey pick up a ball single handed mid ship, starboard side, nice pick up. Kneafsey also always had a Wichard snap shacke rigged, which makes singlehanding easy. Once you have the pickup done you can rig a safety line to the top of the ball at your leisure. Question, it seems if your single handling and your connected to a mooring ring with the Carbine hook and the trades are blowing, how can you disconnect it without forward motion to slacken the line?
