Mast raising system ... all you need is a hinge for the base of the mast  and an attachment on the forward side of the mast for the gin pole. Add a small boat winch to the top of the gin pole with a shive on the end. Also put a roller on the stern mast support so you can easily roll the mast back and place the upper half of the mast hinge into the lower part and secure it with  a large pin ( 3/4" X 6"bolt) . Place the gin pole on the post on the front of the mast and pin it in place. Now pull the cable out of the winch and attach it to the bow, then attach the jib halyard to the end of the gin pole. Now just crank up the mast and attach the forestay and the lower shrouds...tension them and you are ready to go...Takes about 15 or 20 minutes

Antares trailer, bought a venture trailer and added a keel suport and guides. Also built a cradle with adj. pads with ss pipe and 1" all thread. I also built a tall bow support with a ladder and a winch. I added a toung extender under the regular tounge to allow the boat to b put in the water deep enough to launch..

I took out the teak deviders and replaced them with new black cherry cubords so I could put more stuff in there, and so it would be hidden. I also planto replace the drawer and cubord under the stove. I converted the alcahol   stove to propane last year.
