wouldn't the shrouds hold it from coming forward?[/quote]
I didn't say it would fall forward - just slam forward, against the shrouds as the mast would be accelerating upward.
I have also seen people take a long line (like jib sheet) and tie it to the main halyard. Then one person grabs that line and walks out in front of the boat, pulling the mast up as they go with the other person standing on the tramp guiding the mast up. Once the mast is up, the person holding the line just stays put holding the mast up while the person that was on the tramp jumps down and pins the forestay. A lot of ways to achieve the same thing...
