[quote=Deepsees]I sail a G-cat 5.7. The mast is a bear to get up and as I age I know a day is coming where I would not be able to step it up. A gentleman came by me one day and told me about a way to use a winch. I had experience to a point on this... but the mast kept trying to sway left or right. He told me to install a cable forming a right angle from the cross bar to each side of the mast... this would stop the mast from lateral movement as it is cranked up by the forestay. I have not made this yet but it sounds like it would be much easier. I try not to drill extra holes in the mast to attach the cables. Still mulling it over.
