Are you doing it from inside the boat? It might be a lot easier from standing inside the boat. I rig and derig the boat all the time by myself. I stand up the mast along side and outside of the boat 1st and then left it straight up over the deck and between the partners. --Previous Message-- : You're right: it's an aluminum mast. : However, from your description, I : wonder if my problem is trying to do : all this while the boat is up on the : trailer? That puts the bottom of the : boat up in the air by quite a bit, : making the mast step that much : higher. . . . : : Of course, once rigged, it is : simplicity itself to back the : trailer with my truck down into the : water. . . : : Any comments? : : (I haven't built myself a launching : dolly yet.
