[Rhodes22-list] Mast raising

[TN Rhodey]

Charles,

PT speaks the truth! I purchased a used 84 several years ago. I have IMF and 
we stepped mast first time with no GB Hoist. I determined right then to find 
a better way. I considered a home made system  but in the end I purchased a 
used hoist from GB. It works flawlessly and I can do everything safely 
myself.

Fair Winds,

Wally
