[quote=Dogboy]Would be WAY harder than just stepping the mast the normal way - would likely require at least four people and almost certainly end in disaster.
The best/easiest/safest way to step the mast is to put the boat on the ground with beach wheels under the rear crossbar (so the bow is tipped slightly down). Have one person hold the mast on their shoulder near the mast tang. The other person then stands on the tramp and grabs the mast and raises it. If you are not strong enough to do the lift yourself, then have the person that was holding the mast at the tang come up on the tramp and lift with two people. Raising the mast with the boat on the ground gives you a more stable platform than on the trailer and it also allows you to start with the mast at a higher angle relative to the boat, so you don't have to bend over as far to pick the mast up.
