Looking at the old assembly manual it looks like I'm supposed to just pick the mast straight up and set it on the mast step.
The manual says to connect only the side shrouds, then have "your assistant" connect the forestay. It occurred to me that it might be possible to connect the forestay while the mast was sitting on the ground, then pick it straight up like the picture and set it on the step, all done.
Sound like a disaster? Need the Hobie 14 folks input.
