Subject: TS240 mast raising and other stuff

Firstly, I have just been looking through the latest Compass mail order catalogue and there is a mast raising apparatus which looks very interesting. I have found that raising the mast on my 240 is very nerve wracking hard work. The loads involved with trying to lever the thing upright are huge. Suddenly I see a much simpler way of doing it. Have a look on www.compass24.com and search 7112540. What does the forum think?

Secondly, there is a TS240 for sale in the classifieds of PBO this month. The ad states that it has its keel raising winch on the coach roof. How many other TS240's were built in this way? What is the general consensus on the best keel lifting mechanism for these boats.

I am due to launch Nidri for the first time in early April and am getting nervous about the hydraulic lifting mechanism. Is there any thing I should pay particular attention to pre launch?

Thanks

Giles
