[quote=shortyfox]I once saw a guy that had to be in his late seventies solo raise a mast on a Hobie 18. The mast support on his trailer had an extension on the side that allowed him to extend the height with a line going thru a block on the top of this extension then back to the mast where it was tied off just above the spreaders. With the mast lying across the back of the boat he was able to get a good enough angle because of the raised mast support. Now here comes the good part. He got up on the tramp and used a remote control to start the little electric winch and because he was on the tramp while the mast was going up, he was able to use his free hand to keep the mast from going to the side during the raising process.[/quote]
