WARNING: Look up! Make sure there is nothing up there that the mast will

hit as you lift it. Especially, make sure there is a lot of distance between you

and any power lines. If the mast hits or even comes near a power line, it can

kill you. With some high-voltage lines, the electricity can jump a foot or more

from the wire to your mast. We recommend that you keep the mast a

minimum of 10 feet from any power line. While you are looking up, also look

for power lines, trees, etc. between you and the water where you will launch.

NOTE: If you have the CDI roller furler, then a second person is required to

carry the bottom of the furler forward as you lift the mast.

(a) If you are NOT using the mast raising system, then we find this works:

Stand on the cabin top to one side of the mast. Place one foot next to the

cabin hatch, right at aft edge of the cabin top. Place the other foot just

forward of the (closed) cabin hatch. Squat down, grab the mast, and lift

with your legs. Once the mast is half way up, things get a lot easier, so try

to do the initial lift with a quick jerk. Refer to Figure 3-3. REMEMBER,

YOU MUST CONTROL THE SIDE-TO-SIDE MOTION OF THE

MAST. A second person can make this easier. Have the second person

stand in the cockpit and help lift the mast. The second person can stand on

a cockpit seat so they can lift higher

Figure 3-3

(b) Once the mast is vertical, the shrouds should keep it from going too far

forward, or from going sideways. At this point, grab the forestay and hold

it tightly. While pulling on the forestay, walk forward to the bow.
