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?
