How we Raise and Lower our own Mast on an Ericson 26 Sailboat
This video was made to show how we raise and lower the mast on our Ericson 26 sailboat without using a crane. We've added a hinged mast-step and also temporary side stays and brackets in order for it to be raised and lowed quickly and efficiently. Although this system has worked well for us, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND this system to anyone else thinking about raising their own mast. Please do your own research and know what you and your own boat are capable of handling. ? THANK YOU for watching our videos and for SUBSCRIBING to our YouTube channel!
