Thanks for looking and the comments...
Yes Jose it hoisted, luffed and slewed the load no-one has been game to take a guess at!
The motors and gearboxes have the power to destroy the model but when it stared creaking and groaning and winch ropes humming, I thought 66.5 kilo's was enough!!
For the Imperialists that's 144.6 Lbs...not bad for 8 x 8mm wooden dowels as main boom chords.
Now if my darling wife would stay still and not try and struggle out of the harness I would be able to pick her up and hold her there. HeHe!

From looking at your latest photos it would appear that you're using roller bearing sheaves. Where did you find them? Also how much rope do you have on that beast and what size? The whole thing is just awesome. TFS

The whole thing is just awesome. TFS The sheaves are my own, and the bearings are from fishing reels....Google miniature bearings! My supplier has mini-everything. There is 147 metres (482 ft) of 1.4 mm blind cord (you can buy in any colour ) on the main.... that's why i chose not to have to reeve it again,..... and 90 metres (295ft) on the auxiliary. Not sure yet how much I will run on the jib. Thanks for looking and the comments. Mark If you only do what you've always done, you will only get what you always got!
