On Sunday morning, we pulled the boat to the public ramp at the end of Midyette Street. It is a very nice launch area with lots of room and a wide ramp. We hoisted the mast in place using the boom as a jib pole and the main sheet tackle for muscle as per the Chrysler manual. I have done this about nine times now. It was very nerve racking the first time I did it. I learned a little bit more each time and now it is relatively easy to raise and lower it by myself. It usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour to raise the mast and rig the boom, sail, and various pieces of rigging. About 30 minutes or less to take it all back down and lash it for transport.
