subject:The mysterious mast crane
Chris, The mast crane is the fitting on top of the mast that holds the back stay. As to raising the mast. Most Juan'ers do as you do, put it up on your shoulder and push it up. Most have some sort of system using the jib halyard to hold the mast up while the forestay is attached. You can see mine here. http://www.sj21fleet1.org/?Rigging_Ideas%26nbsp%3B:Single-handed_setup
