Nice job Greg but - You left out the use of your mini shrouds (which you have attached to your stanchions) - and to the ??? mainsail halyard? I usually attach my mini shrouds to the spinnaker ring on the mast. The mini shrouds are critical to prevent the mast from moving port and starboard as the mast rises. When the mast is below 45° it is VERY unstable laterally otherwise - because the main shrouds are slack.
Great.Thanks so much for all of your post... I have a 14ft dingley and I'm now ready to make the leap into purchasing a larger boat.. All your videos are exactly the boats that I've been looking at.. I need your opinion as to which boat you like the best..????... Catalina 22,macgregor 26,mcgregor19 or the Hunter 19...( Your opinion will play heavily on my purchase)
That's the problem with all these videos, they don't show a close up or diagram how the gin pole attaches which next to the additional stays is the most important part. Other than that, great video and helpful.
I believe they must be attached on either side of the mast pivot point. The length would depend on how far apart they start and how high up the mast they attach to. If they are not on either side of the mast pivot point (aft/fore or up/down) they will either get tighter or looser as the mast rises.
That's cool , you are right there at the gin pole stopping it from falling over . Safety stays on the pivot plane of the mast. Good job
Cheer~~a tall upright post, spar, or other structure on a ship or boat, in sailing vessels generally carrying a sail or sails.😊

good job made to look easy. I'll try the same on mine.

great system. Thanks
Important point, Make sure the boat is aimed into the wind, or else!!!!!!!
Just noticed the other comments. Nice boat. Stable. Would not feel comfortable in high winds but I still consider myself a novice
Good video thanks! How does the gin pole attach to the mast?? Do you have a close up photo, Thanks

5 minutes is NOT FAIR. The setup time and put-away rigging items was not accounted for. Other than that, I enjoyed your video demonstration Greg.
most awesome! I have a hunter 260, I do it the same way.
where can you get the pole raising system?
Very good
Brilliant! ty
very good friend, but how long is this mast?
What size boat I guess
How big is that mast
Where did you purchase the block and tackle for the gin pole? Need one for Catalina 18. thank you
Check out Catalinadirect.com they may have something
@@gregripko ok, thanks
@0.38 "top of the mast" ????????? This is the FOOT of the mast!
Correct….. foot
show mast step ?
Thanks for video!! Have any idea of how to do on a large boat? Like a Morgan 35?
Unfortunately not…. UA-cam is a great source though.
Does the hunter heel and flop like the Mac?
does your roller furling have foils?
where do yo buy the mast rising system and how much?
It came with the boat luckily…. I no longer have this boat regretfully… I now have a Mac 26x
How do you determine how long the baby stays need to be? I have a boat recently purchased, and have never seem the mast up.
The baby stays came preset…. No adjustment needed as they used pelican hooks to tighten

I need to buy block tackle /pulley/winch stuff for my 19 ft Oday... where is a good place for a good deal , thanks
Just use your main sheet and blocks.
Hey Greg. Do you want to sell your boat ? Thanks.
Already sold it a while back…. I now own a Macgregor 26x
Looks dangerous
