[quote=MN3]Your h17 mast is not that heavy. you should be able to lift it with it on a trailer ... .. just have crew (or anyone who will help) up front to secure the halyard(s).
I had an h18 and that mast was filled with anti-matter. Now i have a 30' mast and its not any easier.. but i now trailer my boat with the bows out and utilize the mast cradle (on the trailer) to hold my mast up at an angle. this makes stepping much easier (but others will tell you it is crazy to step a mast over your car)
it can be solo'ed as described above as well.. but that isnt the safest thing in the world (i have done that as well).
If you really need more help than that you should purchase an EZ Step mast step system. they work very well[/quote]
