Hi all,
I realise that some of this has been covered in other threads, but I'm after a bit of clarification. I have tried several ways to hoist my main and for the life of me, cannot get it up to the masthead, let alone get the ring over the hook. I am about 100kg and so have enough grunt behind me when needed! My initial thoughts are that there has to be a better way.
I understand that luff tension is important, but surely;
a) there is an adequate method of securing it at the mast base
b) there is a better way to get the sail on, short of laying the boat over...

The website gallery shows a few different set-ups, but does anyone have another alternative out there?
Being green to the fleet, I'm happy to take advice...
