[Rhodes22-list] Mast raising/lower system

Hello Rhodes Owners:

I had the misfortune to intersect my mast with a series of tree limbs while
I was moving my boat to its winter quarters. No real damage occurred except
for my Windex and mast light being severed from their homes. So I am forced
to bring my mast down before next season to make the repairs.

I have lowered and raised my mast before with a gin pole system I
rigged up. My wife insists (and she is right) that I should get a proper
Rhodes apparatus to make this easier and safer.

So I am reaching out to you to see if you might have one for sale or know
where I might be able to purchase one. (Or is there an improved system that
you know about that you could share with me.)

Thanks in advance for your help.
