Paul,
I know this is an old thread, but I'm wondering if you have found a main hoisting method which is working for you? Bobcat's idea seems okay except when rigging in strong wind and Wouter's idea is good except I think the cut out on the port side of the mast for the sail feed in my Blade seem too stingy for feeding sail and pulling halyard at the same time. After four sailing days the "turning pulley" at the base of the mast is worn out. I'll try to attach a picture.
