I read this on the forum. The post is by Barry Sanders (of Australia)about problems and fixes for the H17. This is a great informational piece. I have been having trouble with one of his ideas.

He writes, "We all raise and lower our masts over the front by taking off the downwind side shroud and pushing the mast gently backwards to keep one forestay tight, and lowering until we are at the mast's centre then moving the mast slightly forward to allow us to remove the step from the ball and then laying the mast across the wings . Solo rigging is no trouble at all using this method but the mast rotation lever's mounting bolt comes awfully close to the cross beam ."
I have been trying to get my mind around this process with no luck. Does anyone have a photo series or utube type video of this process of raising and lowering the H17 mast. I would like to see it done before trying it myself.
Thank you,
