Instructions on how to use Mastmate

By using Mast-Mate connectivity between the mast and the winch can be affected within the space of 15 seconds.

Mast-Mate is tensioned using the trailer winch until such time as the mast starts to bounce on its support.

This is the point at which the tensioning of the Mast-Mate should stop as the mast is now bouncing on its support.

Once the mast begins to bounce it can be raised into position.

Once you have raised the mast into position you are then free to walk forward and tie it off at the bow.

For lowering, after untying the rope, you may walk to the upright mast and lower it to its support.  The Mast-Mate progressively takes up the weight.

The new MastMate SC has all the properties of the original MastMate but at a lower price

These instructions can be viewed in action via our video.

The new MastMate Magic TC is a completely different way of raising masts, it incorporates a crutch for supporting the mast whilst travelling

and allows the mast to be rolled back prior to stepping and then it is the means by which the mast is raised to the upright.

Lowering, supporting and subsequent un-stepping of the mast is also accomplished all with the same product.
