- Solo Mast Stepping System - SailNet Community
The mast will come down on that, resting at a point that is behind the center of gravity On my mast support I put a rubber roller, like those used on boat trailers, on the frame at the point where the mast would come down on it Once the mast was on it, I would disconnect the hinge at the base of the mast and walk it forward
