Anyone have experience rigging a Gaastra GTX? I posted a thread on Gaastra's forum for help but haven't received any feedback as of yet.

I tried the usual technique of sliding the mast (FS 7000) over the cams, attaching the boom, adding some outhaul. Couldn't pop cams onto mast.
Then I took everything apart and slide the mast through the cams. This worked but was a real pain getting the mast all the way in. I was exhausted before I even hit the water.

After sailing, getting the mast out of the sail proved to be just as daunting.

Any thoughts or helpful hints?

Thankfully, the performance was very good.
