A few steps to ge tthe mast up today. It's surprisingly easy ...only nerve wracking because it's a 38 foot long piece of carbon and it's not cheap if you drop one.
step one...unfold boat at neighbor's bulkhead
step two... walk mast back and pin it:
step three.... have beer and short break while friend swims back to ladder at your bulkead after walking off end of boat accidently.
step four... crank winch and raise slowly (note friend in different, dry clothes)
step five.... fold boat back up and put back on lift behind house. have beer. wait for next good sailing day.
