Aframe for stepping mast on a C25

[VT25]

I would like to build (or buy is sold commercially) an aframe to step the mast on our C25. Does anyone have guidance on how high the aframe needs to be and plans for construction?

Thanks

Perry

The gin pole I made for my Capri 22 Tall Rig (30' mast) is about 7-1/2 feet tall. I'm going to switch to an A-frame myself and I plan to make it about the same height. I figure my a-frame legs will need to be between 8 and 8-1/2 feet long.

Chris.....Would like to see some pictures when your finished of both the A-frame and how you mount it. I'm thinking of doing the same thing on our C-22 and eliminating the baby-stays. I think the A-frame method would make raising the mast with the roller furling a lot easier!
