Sandra, I'm only an inch taller than you, and haven't had a problem while using the jib halyard to hold the mast upright. It really doesn't take much effort. I've also tied off the main halyard to support the mast while adjusting side shroud tension.

If it can be done single handed, I haven't found the way. But then I thought it was because I am only 5'5" tall. Any help on this one along with some step by step details would be greatly appreciated!! ===== Time for a cool change! Sandra __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
