Setting Mast & Rigging

[delandz]

I am the new/novice owner of a Ericson 26, bought it stowed for winter on trailer w/ mast down and secured. I am looking for options for setting it when needed. I have heard of a "hinge" system and would like to know where to find one, if that is the easiest and most economical way to set the mast and best way to use it once installed. Any and all comments, suggestions etc are welcome.
Thanks, Dale

I have a e-27 that has a hinge system ( Tabernacle ) with a drawing from ericson also there is a tabernacle ,wire rigging that looks like two people could raise and lower the mast without much problems Rick Stuart
