Reply to: Solo mast stepping...yet again

[quote=MN3][quote]Besides, doesn't it make it harder to pull the trailer when you're driving, since the boat wants to go the other way?[/quote] AS long as the sails are down... its easy... (kidding). or its only hard if your pulling by hand??? :) I actually don't follow this.. the direction of the boat would only cause a minuscule amount of extra drag... so you may lose a little mpg.. but no biggie.. YES .. turning the cat around on the trailer is a LARGE leap of faith. I refused to do it with my hobies (16 and 18) but i had to with my mystere's 30' mast if i wanted to sail solo. I still get someone on my forestay (i attach a helper line) if i can.. but i have only dropped a mast 1 time (and it was my fault). I ALWAYS wait for any foot traffic to get out of the way before i step (regardless of how the cat is on the trailer) and i tell anyone around me to stay alert, just in case. I do plan out which side of my lexus i plan to push my mast (in the event of a drop) and look for: 1 a clear area 2 someones car i dont like (kidding) [/quote]
