Todd's (WildTsail) suggestion is good. I sailed that boat and it works better than mine, which was done the conventional way. However, also check to see that the hook freely swivels. Ours would catch on the mast, and did not freely swivel. This made taking the main down a bit of a hassle, as turning the mast would also turn the hook too, as there is a loop on the inside of the hook that can catch. A little tweak with pliers and no problem.
