I bought an older Hobie 16 about a year and a half ago. It had been damaged in a wind storm, so I got it cheap and I have gone through the entire boat to replace/update anything that needed attention. So now I am ready to try my hand at this sport. My wife and I have been practicing with the boat trailered, and stepping the mast seems to me to be about the most dangerous thing that can be done with this boat. My wife is very small and just lacks the upper body strength to be able to assist much with the process, and I am not the Incredible Hulk either. I have read 4 books on getting into cat sailing, and all of them spend too little time dealing with this critical step. I welded in a system similar to one of the easy step systems utilizing the trailer winch, but it still is not too good. What suggestions do you have for me for an easier, and more importantly SAFE way to step the mast? Thanks
