[Rhodes22-list] Mast raising land or water

[Mike Cheung]

Thanks Joe,

It really has worked out well for us.  I, too, didn't relish handling the
mast crane all the time and this reduces my handling of it considerably.  We
do usually pull it off even for day sailing once we're rigged, but it stays
on the boat between sailing trips.  I secure the handle to the crane post so
it doesn't contact the deck, put a canvas bag over the end of the crane
covering the handle and the winch, and secure the winch end to the bow
cleat.  It's worked great except the canvas we used wasn't very sun
resistant and the bag needs replaced after one season and one winter.
