I just started sailing this summer, and often go out solo in my 16. But the last two times I've rigged the boat by myself, I've had trouble getting the main up all the way--either the "catches" on the main halyard (which I think are for when the sail is reefed) get caught up or the weight of lifting the sail (plus the boom) the last foot seems next to impossible. If someone holds the end of the boom, everything goes fairly easy, but I need to be able to raise it myself because I'm usually on my own. The rest of getting the boat launched solo is fine. Any suggestions? Thanks.
