Will sent me a picture and description of his mast raising system.
"The two-part tackle, the scissors, and the temporary shrouds (which are hoisted taut with the halyard once the aft maststep pin is in) are removed once the forestay is clipped to the stem fitting. -- Will"
There are various versions of mast raising systems using a "gin pole" or similar device. The "V" shaped device is nice because you can raise and secure the mast by yourself.
