[Rhodes22-list] Mast raising land or water

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Ken,
We've done it both ways.Works pretty well either way. On the water, 
you do run the risk of dropping parts overboard. Have spares. Make a 
check list out of the instructions. Additional lines are needed but I 
would tie the boat off so it doesn't move around at the dock.

Best,
Mary Lou
