Hi All, we have a hunter 26 and bought it used. The mast raising system is not original and I just tried to raise the mast and it was too difficult and dangerous. It does not have any port or starboard guide cables to prevent the mast from swaying left <-> right and the 3 make-shift poles that fit together were bending and the base of the pole is 2 1/4 and the hole is 2 3/8 and it moves around a lot. Does anybody know where we can purchase a new system or can anybody provide any assistance? Thank everyone
