Phil, do you have your boat on the ground, on the tracks or on the trailer when lowering and raising?
Thanks, this is what I wanted to ask. Be nice to have the lawn that Peter has to put the boat on when stepping the mast.
Unfortunately, there are fist-sized rocks in the sand here.
To step off the trailer or on the trailer, that's the question... Or, as Dave P shows, to step backwards on the trailer...
What keeps the boat from scooting backwards as you raise the mast?
