[quote=MN3]I love it when we over-complicate things-
[quote]From the photos I saw it seemed that the person hiking back would just step off the beam to the ground as the mast came vertical, then hold it there with the trap lines.[/quote]
You can also just tie an extension line around a trap handle (or both) and not have to step/fall off a beam
if you have crew, why not have BOTH of you on the tramp, and walk the mast up
when it's up... one of you go pin it (or tie if off to your furler ring)
or throw a line around your forestay and have your crew help pull it up
OR trailer your boat the other way and after you secure the mast step/pin ... use the trailer yoke to hold your mast up (like the 10' ladder) - even better, back it down the shoreline and improve the angle/help
