We were able to do it with just the two of us. I am short and not particularly strong so it can be done with two people. If I recall correctly (it was a number of years ago) we lowered the mast, set the bow end on the pulpit and then lifted the aft end out of the crutch and set it on the stern pulpit. We then set up two step ladders one each next to the bow and stern and then moved the mast to the top of the step ladders. I seem to remember one person having to hold the other end in place while moving it over or something similar. We were then able to move it from the top of the stepladders to the sawhorses. Take care and good luck. Mary Lou ex Rhodes 22 now Rosborough RF-246 Tara Rock Hall, MDSee the original archive post
