[Rhodes22-list] raising mast on Rhodes 22

[Mark Kaynor]

BIG,

I think Dennis is talking about the GB mast crane - like a gin pole, but
very well thought out and works like a charm on the R22. And it doesn't
require a special permit to transport it <g>!

See http://www.rhodes22.org/rhodes/tech.html for a series of pictures of
Raven (my boat) with Gary Sanford (her previous owner) demonstrating an
early version of the system. I've raised Raven's mast several times
single-handed using this system. It's pretty slick.

Are you saying you actually bought a mast hoise?? I'm thinking about the
small crane like devices marinas use to hoist a mast.  Ever think about
using a Gin pole instead.  That way you're not limited to one location
unless somehow your hoist is moveable.
