Mast Raising

[Ron Jesche CH21' Sealion']

I posted a video to my YouTube channel showing me raising and lowering my mast. My Mast is built to plan so is no lighter or heavier than designed.What you can't see on the video is that I am standing on my hatch. As I have said before my hatch is built strongly enough to stand on for this very reason. Being able to do it single handed takes the stress out of rigging the boat. Michael Baccellieri has made some videos showing how he raises his mast using a jinn pole. This is also very effective. Dudley has put them on his website in the Cape Henry 21 section. For now I able to do this my way but in time might need to go the jinn pole route. I don't know how to add the link to my YouTube Channel so look for Ron Jesche YouTube. Ron
