If I had good fall protection, oh heck yes! I love heights. (I get to operate a big bridge crane at work from time to time. My fave!)
But you can get that same angle on a cat with a tenth the effort. Mount the camera on the mast, step it, and go sailing. Movie mode or intervalometer, you either wind up with some wicked video footage or a couple hundred photos to sort through to find the very best one.
Still, unless you stick an action figure on top of your boat, you don't get the feet in the shot. That really does set this one apart in terms of cool factor.

I'm from Florida. I don't even like to get up on my roof.
