Without the Luger Mast-Raising System (#3023), the mast is raised manually by three or more persons, or it can be set in place using cranes customarily found in marinas.  However, using the Mast raising-Lowering System, standing the rig is a one-man operation.

To lower the mast, first remove the boom (takes
  only an instant - no tools required) and then
  disconnect the forestay at the bow of the boat. 

The backstay and side shrouds remain con-
  nected to the mast and boat, and they require
  no readjustment to resume sailing.) 

Give the mast a slight push (#1) to get it over
  center...

...and then continue to pay out line
    as the mast descends.  (#2)

The Luger System stabilizes the
    mast from side sway.

The base of the mast is securely
    locked in the hinged tabernacle
    fitting on the cabin top.

When the mast is fully lowered (#3),
    one person easily moves it
    forward into trailering position.





Note:  With the Voyager Ketch- 
    rigged, a second person is
    required to steady the
    mizzenmast.
