[Rhodes22-list] Lowering the mast with Stan's hoist system

[Richard Beytagh]

Peter's advice on the pop-top is very important. Be aware of where the wind
is coming from and if you have another person with you it is handy to have
them help guide the mast into the cradle by tugging on the side-stays if
you get off the drop trajectory.

It is an easy one-man job once you've done it a couple of times

Cheers
