Title: CP23 Mast Stepping ??
Post by: Blown Away on October 20, 2016, 09:58:57 PM

I've stepped quite a few mast through the years but have never stepped
a mast on a CP23. What can I expect, or compare to? Any ideas on rigging? Thanks!!

Here is a fun little video showing Bob23 and I stepping the mast on his 23.

I'm sure Bob will chime in with details. :)

Thanks for the video K3v1n. I'm in the process of buying a 23 a couple of states away and trying to get some idea of what to expect before getting there. Making progress on my trailer rigging and hopefully will be done next week. Noticed your boat TETRA for sale...Clean little boat! If for some crazy reason my deal falls thru we may be talking soon. Thanks again for the info!

If you find yourself having to do this single handed and remotely, this might be a consideration:

I can guarantee that if you don't have Lesa there, you won't have nearly the fun we had!!! It's really pretty easy but making very sure all the lines, halyards, stays and shrouds are in the right position BEFORE you begin to raise the mast is essential to a successful raise. Don't ask how I know this.
