OK, I'll step up here and offer high praise for the EZ Step.

I used to sail a SuperCat 17 which had a MONSTER of a mast. For sure, it took a few tries to get the EZ_Step straps in the right place and at the right length. Here are a few of the considerations.
> The entire process added only seven minutes to rigging. I never climbed up onto the tramp and never grunted and lifted that beast of a mast. I did the entire dance solo...very dignified, very easy. And I never had sandy footprints on the tramp.
> I added plastic clips to the rear trap bungies so the trap wires could easily be brought forward to the winch. That left the fore stay free to clip to the bridle.
> The forward trap lines ran through the forward beam so their length and geometry was right to clip to the EZ-Step to prevent side swing throughout the lifting process. Think it out BEFORE you start! This geometry must be perfect. It's easy.
> The pole was about 6 inches up the mast...lowest is best. ALWAYS strap it to the mast. One slip spells disaster.
> I could release the SuperCat righting levers to ease the shroud tension for raising and lowering. Too cool! Or is it "cool tool"?
> ONCE in three years a steel side clip broke. The mast swung a bit but no major problem...except near heart failure! The broken clip was understandable since I foolishly did not rinse the EZ-Step.
> PRACTICE and check everything before you start since you are trusting the process with a lot of weight and it has a potential for DISASTER if you screw up (it is YOU that screws up, not the EZ-Step).
> I have a PDF of the EZ-Step manual. PM me if you want it.

A better plan is to tow the boat backwards and lift it yourself. Easy, solo, and quick. My EZ-Setp is now retired.
