Here's a link (hope it works) to some Photobucket images of my Chrysler 20, and the A-frame mast-raising system I built that made hoisting the heavy mast an effortless task instead of an ordeal. Thank you, Vic, for the concept...
I'm now able to raise the mast by myself, and can sail solo when the mood strikes. Total cost of the A-frame device: $14 for the rope from Lowes. The rest I scavenged from the garage and my boxes of boat junk I've held onto for 20-odd years.

Very nice! I like the way you did the head.I built a simular device for the C20 I use to own. Ran the lead thru the port wench and cleat. I could tie off the lead anytime during the raising or lowering process to defoul cables or lines. I have seen pics of boats with this arrangement set up permantly so the boats could pass under low bridges. I plan on making another for the C22. It just works too good not to. Jeff

Try using the search function at the top of this post to see past posts with pictures . Also check out the documents section saved by captain Scott, follow the links to his website where he has saved valuable information including the c20 manual that will give you the needed instructions for raising and lowering your mast. Good luck!
