I have a prindle 16 #7 off the shelf the early prindle's dont have a hinge setup. it takes 3 people to raise mast
from what i have been told i need to replace the bottom of the mast with a 16 or 18 prindle mast (looking for bent mast) that has hinge setup and replace front cross tube that has hinge set-up

any one have another ez way to do this? or how did you solve this problem
