Video how to raise the mast on DF28 yourself

Post by Mathias »

Dear All,

There is a video at Corning how to raise the mast on a DF28 yourself, but some details are missing there - for us at least. Here is our video with some more details to get it right:

Note: make sure the forestag is not twisted at its top shakle. It so happened to us first time and it results in a massively deformed shakle that needs to be replaced.

It is easy to notice when this happens, as the bag stags will be much longer than you are used to...

Cheers

Mathias
