[Rhodes22-list] Redneck mast raising!

[Rob Lowe]

Todd,
Good question.  As Hank indicated we pull from the bow and the mast comes up
from the stern and I believe most of us do the same thing, especially if you
are using the GB system.  Don't recall who it is, but I thought there were a
couple of owners who do it in the other direction.  - rob
