been there, done this (except i was on the water)...rent a 30+ foot extending ladder from the rental store, place the foot around the forehatch , leaning it on the mast, extend it, and it should get you close enough to use a boat hook to snag it...
I tied the jib halyard to the top rung of the ladder, and had someone pull to both hoist/extend the ladder and to be a safety line to get the top of the ladder steady..

thanks..
good ideas, anyone actually go up the mast on a bosuns chair or these other devices that are ladders that go up the mast track? I wonder if the deck step mast is strong enough...I think I will try the above ideas first though..thanks
