John, It does take a little coaxing to drop and, thanks to the zippers at the mast, I can get my hands in there to do it. For a little more money (just like everything else on a boat — a little more money) you can get a slide track system (Tides Track), which will make the hoisting and dropping much much easier. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq0fScPkaGs <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq0fScPkaGs> and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0iFS1L-B6U <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0iFS1L-B6U>
