Hello, I'm the new guy. Just bought a 1986 14.2, hull # 1220. First time sailor, big boats. Been sailing a 1 meter RC soling for 4 years but it's been years since I was on a real sailboat.
So... lots of questions. Here's the first one:Learning how to step the mast, boat is trailered. I'm single handed, so I'm looking for an easy way to pull the mast fully vertical while I connect the forestay. Any ideas or do I just muscle it together?
Now, more;
Should I disconnect the shrouds when lowering the mast?
Any way to keep the vang rove and still remove the boom?
Atatch the main foot to the boom before bending to the mast?
Also looking for anyone around the Twin Cities area with a C14.2.
Thanks for the help. You can answer here or email me of line.
