[quote=texastuma][quote=rungi]I sometimes have a problem with the forestay and jib halyard wrapping around each other when raising the mast. Any suggestions on how to best keep the forestay and jib halaryd fair? I always step the mast solo using a ladder with a rope around a pulley attached to the trailer and eye high on the mast to hold the mast while I pin the forestay.[/quote]
I tie the tails of the jib halyard together and secure it on the mast rotator near the mast. I have my raising system attached to the forestay when raising the mast. I do this solo and use a 6' ladder.
I have done a video of the stepping and the general set-up: [url=https://youtu.be/KjPgEDVKAZk]https://youtu.be/KjPgEDVKAZk[/url]
Message me if you have questions. I had 2 Nacra 5.8s and a Nacra 5.0 and raced a 6.0 for a few years.[/quote]
