Since acquiring "So True" from Dave Curtis, I have been practicing at raising the mast single-handed. The problem is that I injured my right shoulder some years ago in an accident and I can't quite get the boost required to get her up to the point where it'll fall into place in the tablernacle without assistance. I am playing with the idea of making an iron or lead boot for the bottom of the mast that will carry the mast forward into the tabernacle without requiring too much motive effort on my part. The boot should push the fulcrum forward as if the mast was "spring-loaded". Anybody have similar problems or tried this on their PocketShip?
Much obliged.
