The mast raising system or gin pole is quite simple to construct either from
metal or wood. In principle, it is a rigid bar with one end attached to the
base of the mast within 3" to 12" of the end. The other end has two strap
eyes, one is attached to the jib halyard which is tightened to keep the gin
pole perpendicular to the mast. A four part block and tackle is attached to
the other eye and to the front of the boat where the foot of the jib
attaches. My pole is five feet long and constructed of heavy wall aluminum
tubing 11/4" in diameter. A "u" - shaped piece of aluminum is welded to one
end and has holes in the arms of the "u" that match holes in the mast. A
hitch pin is inserted to secure the gin pole to the mast. My 12 year old
daughter can raise the mast on my MacGregor 22 with this device. Sketches
or photos upon request.
