[quote=Andinista][quote]My problem is I have never been able to raise the mast on my 18-2 without help and it takes more time than I am happy with. [/quote]

Strapping trap wires to the trailer crossbar under the front beam worked great for me. Pulling with the jib sheet with 2:1 purchase makes it even easier and safer, but if you prefer to skip that part it may be done faster. I like to be able to secure the mast before stepping down to attach the forestay, so that’s a big reason to use the jib sheet too. I think it’s risky to step down securing the mast with a line on your hand. But bottom line, stabilizing the mast side to side makes a huge difference, it’s still heavy but way more manageable. Not sure if the Getaway mast is much lighter to allow stepping it without any additional system, but still I don’t think it’s a big difference on rigging time. Other things are though.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Andinista on May 20, 2021 - 09:50 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
