[quote=dssaak]I don't use the forestay to raise the mast. If I am sailing with a spinnaker, I use that halyard and if not then the main halyard (wing mast goes up 'backwards'). To be clear, the F16 mast is light enough to raise by hand myself even at my age. I choose not too at this point and any minimal time spent is worth the peace of mind.
I am curious in how you pin the forestay while you hold the mast?[/quote]
