The mast is quite a bit lighter than the Taipan mast (it should be around 11kg) so it's a bit easier. The main trick is to always keep it in line with the wind as there's a lot of windage if side on to the breeze. So, here's what I do - boat set head to wind, forestays tied loose - about 200mm more than normal rigged position. Beachwheels positioned halfway between the forestay and main beam to give a good rearward slope. Raise the mast by walking up between the bows and vaning the mast if there are any sideways gusts. Let the mast rest back in a raked position and vaned to the wind. It can sit free while you connect the sidestays. Then tighten up the forestays to your normal tension. Dropping is the reverse procedure. The only time help should be needed is in over 20 knots or if the wind is really gusting around. Call a mate to hold a trapeze wire in that case. Don't want to break that expensive mast or belt someone on the head! It becomes easy with practice.
