Actually, another trick on the 4.3 that Jamie Diamond showed me a few years ago at Spring Fever - you can step the 4.3 mast very easily by yourself using the spin halyard. Cool trick on a single-hand boat.
We step our Taipan mast single handed using the spin sheet--works great and very safe. (It's stepped from the front; with the forstay and one side stay attached, the spin sheet is used to tighten and hold the unattached stay.)
