[quote=jonathan162][quote=dssaak]The short answer to all of this is sail with friends! You may sail solo but going with friends and other boats you always have help to rig your boat.
Personally, I would never free lift a mast with no assistance. To me, it is too easy to get things off line and into trouble and not worth the chance.[/quote]
I'm not going to call this [i]bad[/i] advice, but it doesn't work for me. I've spent much of my life as a solo sailor prowling the prairies and mountains for places where there usually aren't any people to help. So I came up free lifting the Mystere's mast and expect, even though I now have a family that's often with me, to figure out how to be self-sufficient with the SC19 as well. If that involves a gin pole or other special assistance, so be it. Do what I gotta do.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by jonathan162 on Dec 14, 2019 - 02:46 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
