I purchased a cobalt brand wrench from Lowes. It has a ratchet end that swivels which makes it easier on the knuckles. I also drilled a hole in the handle and used a thin line to secure it around the post the mast ball sits on. A fresh water bath after races and a shot of Boeshield in the ratchet mechanism and it is going strong. The string is long enough to allow us to store in the tramp with the righting line and to use it without untieing anything.
