I spent last weekend upgrading the mast step to a captive system (that was swell), and I am looking to actually go sailing on this thing before summers out. Also, any tips on an easier way to step the mast? Thanks in advance!
First thing I would say is remove the captive system; if you break a shround or for what ever reason the mast comes cown; you may get trapped underneath it !
IMO caprive systems are a disaster waiting to happen !
