The video of Phil, Donna, and Bob raising the mast. Nice job and thanks for the help, Phil & Donna.
2 weeks after selling our sailboat, we were online looking for another boat. Bought "Tadpole" in April 2013. Tadpole is a trawler made by Nimble. Our model is a 20' Vagabond. Currently, in Iowa visiting family and friends for a few summer months before heading for Arizona.

I would like to know how you used the trailer winch to bring up the mast?
We fed the trailor winch strap through the anchor roller and led it back to attach to the forestay. The mast was supported about 6 feet off the stern of the boat by stting it on the outboard motor mount which was set upon the rear stern bench. One person, this time it was Donna, cranked on the winch to haul in the line as Phil and I steadied the mast as it became elevated. Pretty simple but was made more difficult by 25 mph winds.
