Thanks Lee, I am hoping to get it in the water this weekend. It has a full keel and I am launching it off my trailer so do you have any ideas there? I was thinking of getting a 20 foot piece of 2x2 tubing to use to extend my hitch. Do you think that will be enough? The keel is maybe a little over a foot off the ground and the ramp is fairly steep.

With a hinged mast step, though, you might be better off raising the mast using a gin pole arrangement. I think there are instructions for setting that up there as well. You can also check YouTube.com and you'll find several videos showing a number of ways to raise a mast. If the mast is completely disconnected from the boat, it probably doesn't matter which method you use. I've used the A-frame a couple of times, and it's pretty easy.
