[quote=MN3][quote]The line I am hanging onto is looped thru the rings for my righting line, then tied to the hiking cables. I can control the mast from swinging with one hand, run the winch with the other.[/quote]
if you secure your trap wires near your front beam you could have 2 hands on your control box and you can drop that if needed.
You look like if your mast was hit with a gust and went sideways you would have to drop the controls to manage the line (unless you prefer 1 armed). then you could be stuck with the mast 1/3 up and no way to grab your control box again
my E-Z step had a strap that went under each outer beam. there was a little slack until the mast was up a few feet but they worked well.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Jul 02, 2021 - 01:13 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
