    My 1965 Paceship 19' moutte looks like the same boat. Your video is a great find for me.

    Love watching your channel! I had to replace my mast on my DS1 this year. Rudy from D &R took care of me, and tomorrow will be the first time using the turnbuckle. Your video has me feeling pretty secure that it will go well.

    Your term, "Yard Sailing" made me laugh! We are all boys at heart.
    I have set up my daysailer II with a 2x4 A- frame, which spans across the cockpit seats. The tiller handle passes through the middle, and has full travel. I primarily sail in small rivers, and regularly step the mast down on the A-frame rest to pass under the bridges. I use the jib halyard line to raise the mast, rather than a special line.

      Sounds like a good technique to raise you mast… I have only very tall bridges that Navy ships and cargo ship’s easily pass under so once my mast is up, it’s up for the whole cruise. I’m planning to take her to a lake in New Hampshire in a couple of months. I like that flexibility of a trailerable sailboat.

      Jason, do you remove the jib from the jib line to use it to help raise the stepped mast, or how exactly do you tie it off?

    I'm an old guy and definitely need help raising the mast. Your video sure will help me to do that. I live in Warwick (Lakeside) R.I. and will probably launch from Gaspee area. I'll keep an eye out for you.

    Couscous! Ha ha ha! Wonderful! Suggest a tension gauge if you're adjusting shrouds. Like the content, would like to see a closer video of the block at bow when you step the mast. Enjoy your sailing time. Cherrs!

      Thanks for the comment. I do own a tension gauge but did not think to use it on this small boat, just went by the “Good’n Tight” method… what should my tension be on the gauge? Also will try to remember to do a close up on the forward block in a future video. It’s basically just latched onto to forward bracket where my forestay attaches.
