[Rhodes22-list] Mast Raising system

[ed kroposki]

Russ or Will:

 

What are the 'Struts' that Hunter uses in their system for side
stabilization?  See:

 

http://www.huntermarine.com/models/240/mast.html

 

Is that a special kind of stay-spreader? Or do they call them Struts because
they are angled?  What kind of spreaders does your boat have?  Would they be
strong enough to maintain stability while raising the mast?  Do you have
blocks or sheaves on top of your mast so that you hoist a temporary
horizontal support to stabilize the mast while raising it?

 

Can we tell Bill that the Seaward system was trailer mounted and you do not
have nor intend to get the Seaward trailer?
