Been scouring YouTube for a decent example. So far have seen one very over-engineered solution, and a couple of clips from bad angles of another... Anyone have tips, plans, links or other resources for this? It can't be too bad the mast goes up/down pretty easy with one helper Cheers! --Jen

Actually we modified it down. The mast is the same size as the M 17 Sent from my iPad On Oct 10, 2022, at 8:27 PM, Bob Eeg <montgomeryboats@hotmail.com> wrote: I used this on the KatBote [image.png] Sent from my iPad On Oct 10, 2022, at 7:33 PM, Jennifer Wood <jennifer@buskersguidetotheuniverse.org> wrote: Been scouring YouTube for a decent example.

We cut it down. You could raise it and pin the top. Then take your time attaching the rigging.

After we cut it down it looked like this [image] Sent from my iPad On Oct 10, 2022, at 7:33 PM, Jennifer Wood <jennifer@buskersguidetotheuniverse.org> wrote: Been scouring YouTube for a decent example.

I would love some measurements so I could get something like that made On Mon, Oct 10, 2022, 23:38 Bob Eeg <montgomeryboats@hotmail.com> wrote:

Do you mean a tabernacle to replace the standard mast step? Or setups to raise single handed on the standard step? I can speak to the latter if that's what you're asking. No leads for the former, what Bob posted looks interesting, but would be $$$ to have fabricated. Could/would interfere with stock locations/mounting of cleats, eye straps, etc. normally on lower end of mast so that would have to be addressed also. cheers, John On 10/10/22 19:32, Jennifer Wood wrote:

Jennifer, For me, it depends on whether or not two people are raising.. ? A simple gin-pole is easy to use with two people, but if I was by myself I would prefer an a-frame system. Why so? An a frame can be stopped partway up and the mast does not sway easily from side to side so person can “let go” momentarily to in-snag a halyard or stay that can easily get caught. I purchased my M17 recently and have not yet raised the mast, but I built a gin pole system for my other boats—Compac 23, Slipper 17, O’Day Mariner 19.
