[Rhodes22-list] Mast hoist system

[LafingBear at aol.com]

Hi Folks! I have frequently raised and lowered the mast on my rhodes by 
myself, and several times on a sloping beach. Several bystanders on the beach were 
betting that the mast would never drop into the mast holder  set up at the 
rear of the boat.Never fear, every time, at the last five feet of decent, the 
mast centered itself and dropped neatly into the holder. Speed did not seem to 
matter  in either raising or lowering the mast as more than once I have had to 
stop in the middle of the whole procedure to untangle something. Stan made it 
fool proof and I'm here to prove it!
