Hi everyone

As we move closer to launching our CH21 we are very curious as to how people handle the trailering and mast raising/lowering. In particular we would love to see some details of mast supports. We have seen some CH21's with permanent mast/boom supports but initially we will need something demountable and ideally able to be raised from the trailering position to a higher position for mast raising. Any details and photos would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Richard and Monique

Hi Richard and Monique

Unfortunately I have no fotos of it. But I use a simple boomcrutch, made of two wooden boards and boltet together 150mm from the top. So I can fold it uü and put it in the Cockpit. Then I secure it with some ropes fore and after.

To raise and lower the mast I use the bowsprit raised up as high point to put the tackle on. Sorry no pictures here too.

I reckon if you search for cape cuter videos you will find tons of usefull information.
