The recent request for information concerning solo mast raising has prompted me to ask if anyone has ever experimented with strengthing the mast foot/tabernacle so that the mast can't move sideways. I have found that even with a "mast up" post and using the trailer winch attached to the forestay I still cannot raise the mast alone as the side to side sway remains until the shroud lines stiffen-a situation that it seems could be remedied by some sort of stiffening at the tabernacle. Any interesting ideas out there?
