Thanks for the extra details Peter and Andrew. Getting the #2 jib out to replace the luff wire has been on my list for too long. You might have motivated me to do it and get it measured.
Still working on replacing cabin handrails…

Re: Mast Raising Tool
Genius!
I have been using a block and tackle connected between the pullpit and the jib halyard, and using the cabin top winches to haul it up. This puts a lot of load on the halyard swivel so it's probably not ideal. Your system pushes up instead of hauling up, very clever.

What did you wind up using Peter (do you have a link)? And did you have to adjust the hinges to accommodate the seals?
