I just bought a C-25. It came with a bosuns chair and the previous owner said he had been up to the top of the mast. However, I have also heard that the boat is probably too small for someone like me (200#) to go up. My wieght, that far above the water would make the boat too unstable. Does anyone have experience ona 25?

Go on up, it won't tip over unless you swing yourself out really hard. I've been up on C22 mast to retreive a halyard.
