Mast raising and lowering

Any tips or advice / lowering the mast single-handedly? I've done it with the main sheet block and tackle a couple of times, but it is such a heavy pull, and with no cam cleat, It's hard to take a rest in the middle.

Shore Power

My boat isn't equipped with shore power. Does anyone have it? Where did you mount the port on your boat? Drilling the hole is a big commitment.

Re: Mast Shoe Help

Yep, that's what I did.

Mast Shoe Help

Hi There I tried raising the mast on my boat today. It was the first time, and I misunderstood how to keep the mast parallel to the boat. Long story short, it went askew which sheared the rivets holding the pivoting foot to the mast. Thankfully that was the extent of the damage. Does anyone have adv...
