Can anyone tell me how to make a "gin pole" so that I can set the mast on my 25ft MacGregor. I would like to use the wench on my trailor to make the task of setting and lowering the mast by myself.

A Frame
On my Mac 25 I used two 8' aluminum tubes ends. Bolted one of each with a stap between.the other ends I fix with a pin to the adjuster at the base of the baby stay. Attach a four part tackle to one end of the strap. the jib halyard to the other end. The other end of the tackle attaches to the jib tack eye. cleat the halyard to the mast. Haul away

To use your trailer Winch
you'll need a pully hanging from the bowrail so the winch line dose not cut rubrail up. For the 25 you need about a 6ftleg s "A"frame or a gin pole,plus make a bridel to keep it from going side to side as it go's up. this pic may help. below
