[quote=Dogboy][quote=BrianCT]I use a 6 foot step ladder to step my H18. [/quote]
I have used a step ladder when raising the mast as well (on my H17). With the boat on the ground and the top of the mast supported by the ladder, raising the mast is a lot easier because you don't have to bend over nearly as far to pick up or put down the mast. It also makes lowering the mast considerably safer IMO because you don't need someone at the back of the boat to "catch" the mast, you just place the mast on the ladder and then they can walk over to grab the mast after it's safely down.
