mast (side of the mast with non-rotating masts) to the side anchors on the cabin
roof (aligned with the mast pivot point). These raising wire anchors can be ‘clip
on’ or ‘lift up loops’ or extra chain plates, depending on model.
(Mast raising eye on mast.)
Note that the length of these raising wires is adjustable and they should be
slightly loose and monitored on the first mast raising. This is to ensure they
cannot become over tight during the initial raising procedure. They should never
be more than moderately tight, and, once adjusted and set, should need no
further monitoring or adjustment.
(Raising wire eye on cabin top.)
An alternative to raising wires is to use the spinnaker and screacher halyards.
These can also provide an extra backup in difficult conditions, but they do take
longer to setup. If used, they must be cleated at the bottom to the mast
8. Position the mast raising pole on the mast in the yoke socket. Attach the wire
form the top of the pole to the eye on the front of the mast, with the pole being
approximately perpendicular to the mast.
