This video is not at all in alignment with thw Hunter design. If you raise the mast this way, you could twist the mast and rip out the mast step. Two support wires keep the mast centered and the gin pole in the front of the mast provides leverage to raise the mast. Watch your shrouds as the mast comes up. They will catch on the chain plates and bend the toggles if you don't keep an eye on them.
