I like this. A couple of times this past summer, the pit man was not fast
enough getting the halyard secure and the chute dropped a few feet. Much more
difficult to pull the chute up when it is full.

I think you can see how it works. Mast person hoists chute with an outboard
pulling motion. Halyard "parks" in the cam cleat. Once the chute is up, the
mast person can move to other tasks. The halyard remains "parked". Later, the
pit person can then take the slack out of the halyard and give it a pull. The
halyard pops out of the cam cleat into the "free" position. It is then ready
to drop the chute. This assumes the boat has a cabin top rope clutch for the
halyard.
