If you plan on trailering, there are a few options available for stepping the mast. I just use a rope tied tot the end of the forestay, wrap it around the front mast support, and then tighten it up and cleat it to one of the cleats at the bottem of the mast. this works fine for me and I just reverse it when I am done sailing.
The Skier,
Can you explain more about how you do this? Are you wrapping the rope around the "mast support" on the trailer? and then back to the base of the mast to cleat it?
