Attach the hoist line on the
mast with a loop. Make sure
to leave a long tail on the
bowline so you can pull the
loop downwards after the
mast is hoisted. The loop
can jam under the lower
shroud hounds.
Lead the other end of the
hoist rope trough the mast
foot block and the clutch to
the winch.
The mast is a little bit top
heavy so keep slight pres-
sure on the foot while hoist-
ing. Use the Winch to lift the
mast.
Once the mast is raised
swing the mast foot over
the mast support and gently
lower it in place.
Keep a slight tension on the
hoist rope until you secure
the mast with the shrouds
and forestay.
