3.4 Stepping the Mast
Before stepping the mast, familiarise yourself with how the “foot” (bottom end)
of the mast will fit into the “step” (fitted to the boat).
The mast foot has two rectangular blocks on the bottom, separated by a
groove. Both of these blocks will fit between the block at the front of the mast
step, and the bolt at the back (see pictures 3.3 and 3.4).

While it is easier to step the mast with two people, it can also be done single-
handed.
