[Rhodes22-list] Mast raising

[Peter Thorn]

Hello Charles,

Carrying all the sails on the rig is a big advantage.  No wasted time
bending on sails.  No space below consumed with sail bags.  But, the IMF and
175 genoa (if carried on the forestay) add a lot of weight.  If this gets
going and develops some momentum, you'd better be prepared to jump out of
the way fast!  On the other hand, with Stan's mast crane the entire process
could be done by a 100 pound weakling in total control.  Get the picture?

you typically have two strong backs available to help?
