[quote=hydroghyl]I sail a H16 and a P16. I often step my mast solo. I think I use a similar system as that originally debscribed but it sounds like you have many more steps. I installed a small jam cleat on the front crossbar near the base of the mast similar to the one used for the roller furlers. Easier than tying off the line tied to the forestay. I tie a 3/16 dia line to the forestay and run it through a pulley attached to the trailer hitch lock and back through the jam cleat i mentioned earlier. I step mast as usual and pull line taught. Climb off tramp and install shackle through forestay. remove line. ta da. I can actually step it faster myself than with "help". To take down just retie line and snug through jam cleat. Undo shackle. get on tramp. release line and drop (not literally) mast. [/quote]
