Mast raising/lowering rig

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm thinking about building some kind of rig (A-frame) to allow shorthanded mast raising and lowering.  Getting the mast up and down is never a problem if I can round up some helpers but I'd like to be able to do it with just one helper or maybe even alone.  The builder of the new Andrews 28 put a video on youtube showing a pretty slick steel a-frame that attaches to the chainplates.  Anyone done something similar for a Laser 28?
