I am a new c-25 owner and I need to get the mast up. I know this is an old question but one good picture would be worth a 1000 words. Please send pictures of you A-Frames (in action) if available. a drawing would also be good. I need to know how you are attaching it to the hull and to the mast or forstay. I have read what I can from old posts and don't understand why the existing side stays wouldn't work for keeping the mast in the center. I will be trailer sailing a lot and expect to be an expert on this very subject in short order. Please Help! Thank! Rawlins WY.

Benge,

Welcome to the fleet and the forum!

Have you seen this [url="http://www.catalina25-250.org/tech/tech25/bearsad1.html"]A frame article from the Technical Tips area of this website?[/url]

Here are some pictures Buzz Maring posted of his A-Frame setup.






Here are two links which Buzz posted in another topic.

The existing side stays (shrouds) do not engage until the mast is almost all the way up.
