ANY IDEAS FOR SOLO STEPPING MAST? SOMEONE MUST HAVE DESIGNED A TOOL TO AID THE SOLO SAILER TO STEP THE MAST ALONE.

Marc,
In case you have not found it, below is a link that is posted somewhere on the forum to a webpage showing the use of a gin pole. The website is for a slightly larger boat but with a similar type of rig (mast stepped on keel through the cuddy roof).

I still lift my mast by hand to rig the boat but as I have gotten a little older, now I'm leaning toward spending the $85 for a mast tabernacle.
