tami,
what do you think is unsafe about raising the mast with precourt shrouds?
I have been thinking about that question because my boat has the precourt shrouds and they are at a length right now where the previous owner had them for raising the mast with it unfolded. I would just need to loosen them a couple (?) inches to raise the mast with the amas folded then retighten them once they are unfolded. I suppose the concern is when I am unlashing the lines to retighten them. That has got me a little worried.
It seems most people like to raise the mast when on the water with the beams unfolded but for some reason I feel like I should do it on the trailer the first time (haven't done it yet, and I know it is supposed to be easy, but I am not looking forward to raising it the first time).
BTW.. what diameter line are you using for your synth shrouds?
