Step 3.
Check that all the stays and trapeze wires are free of obstructions. Also
check that the jib halyard is free. The person at the mast base takes a trape-
ze wire to help the person at the back with raising the mast. It is best to put
your foot on the mast base to prevent it from coming off the ball.
Step 4.
The person at the top of the mast walks forward and lifts the mast at the
same time. The person at the mast base, who is holding a trapeze wire, tries
to pull the mast up as well. Be sure to hold the mast base on the mast ball
with your foot!
Step 5.
The person who is lifting the mast steps on the trampoline while lifting the
mast. It is important that the person at the mast base pulls on the trapeze
wire to make it easier for the person at the back. If the lifting is too heavy,
then put a third person on the trampoline to take the mast.
CAUTION: Check for overhead wires and be sure the area behind the boat is clear of people! A mast which comes in contact with elec-
trical power lines can cause serious injury or death.
