Reply to: H16 - trailering backwards

[quote=dssaak]I am sorry but a gin pole adds 30-45 mins to rigging time ... ah, no !! That is like saying it takes 2-1/2 hours to rig a spinnaker boat. Two of my trailers have an open top in the mast post and I drop the gin pole down into them. That takes about 5 seconds tops. My other trailer (as well as how a buddy of mind does it on his Trailex trailer) is to pin the gin pole to the mast post. His takes about 15 seconds and I am sorry to say mine takes about a minute. With the pulley several feet above the mast ball, it is short work to crank up the mast. As far as supporting the mast behind the cross bar, a cheap, light, aluminum 6' step ladder does the trick. Place the top end of the mast on the ladder and it can be slid back all the way to the hounds. I do my F-24 mast in a similar manner and it is tons heavier than any cat mast ... solo if need be.[/quote]
