I could use some suggestions from Single Handed Mast Raising Professionals.
I bought an older 1990 Capri 14.2.
She is on a Magic Tilt Trailer.
There was no mast stand or crutch for the bow or the stern so the mast lays across the boat from bow to stern... as you know the mast hangs over quite a bit.
I've been working with Vice at Ahoy Captain to perhaps buy an After Mast Stand that would mount to the Gudgeons and a Trailex Winch Post with Mast Crutch that I believe would mount to the trailer winch post.
I'm also looking at getting a MastMate http://www.mastmate.com.au/ to help with single handed mast raising.
I'd probably also have to fabricate some sort of support for the mast using PVC for the Tabernacle like someone else here has already done.
Question: have any of you fine sailors fabricated a single handed mast raising solution for the Capri 14.2.
Would you care to share how/what you did?
Thanks in advance
