[quote=hyperope]The ladder method scares the mainsheet out of me. Too scared of ladders when holding heavy mast. my two person step method- Boat off trailer, facing slightly downhill (and hopefully, downwind). tie small diameter line to forestay and bridle. One person get on tramp, one at top of mast (on ground). First person walks the mast up until he reaches the tramp. Second person (on tramp) grabs mast with enough muscle to allow first onto tramp to assist in final raising. First person hops off tramp to secure forestay while other holds mast forward. Lowering reverse.[/quote]
