Sorry if this seems sarcastic but. What's the sense of showing you raise the mast without explaining it to the rest of us ?

This boat doesn't need a mast raiser, one person is enough by hand.

Great job !!! I know this is a very old post but this does look very interesting. I have a Macgregor 26S that I want to try this out with. It looks like you have one pole that is mounted to some rollers that slide inside the mast track, and on the other side it is probably attached to the main cleat (in order to keep it from sliding). There is also a small pole 1/2 the length attached that folds out to act as a leg to hold it up when mast is down. You see him fold this out 1:01. I don't see anything else like this on youtube, I wish they would have gone into detail more. The method I have designed for all of my sailboats is to install a wench on the front of the trailer that uses a wireless controller. I simply connect it to the jib halyard and get on top of the boat and use the wireless controller to wench it up while I make sure everything stays clear. I am powering the winch from a DC connector I installed in the back of my truck that runs off of the truck battery in order to keep from having to tow around a extra battery. After ten years of trailer sailing I thin the wench is the most efficient method because using lifts like this video and the others that go in front causes you to have to store it either on the boat or trailer. Either way just more stuff to fool with.....I also replaced all of my connectors to main, jib halyard, ....etc to snap shackles. Very quick and easy to connect and just as strong as any other method. I don't like to fiddle with screwing shackles together, bolts and other items that take time. I can pull up to boat launch and in 20 minutes have the boat ready to launch (that's including sails). I do like this video....completely original.

What sorcery is this? There's obviously a helicopter just out of frame. That's why there's no sound. 🤣😂😅🤧

How do you keep it from swinging off to the side?

as long as the raising pole with the wheels stays straight the mast wont go sideways....saw another video version of this...this is superior to the gin pole because it holds mast steady without any extra stays or A frames...im going to make one with a wide base for stability and hinged onto a lower companion board. The mast will only go up straight. when done just slide the lower board and the pole up and out of the way.

@@johncartelli yea, but what if on the water? Get some waves and you’d be hard pressed to keep it from swinging. I lift with a gin pole at the front, but haven’t really solved this yet.

@@ubbeus thats the point as long as the mast stays on the wheel it wont sway sideways no matter what the boat is doing because the lifting pole is on a pivot that keeps it lifting in a straight line. the mast must always stay with the lifting pole. im making this setup for my boat and im adding something over the mast so it cant leave the roller.

If you look closely, he has small stays connected from the outer edges of the jib traveller to the spinnaker ring on the front of the mast. It really is quite an ingenious invention.
