Mack Sails has one I am thinking of getting. It is shown in the installation video for their Mackpack (which I am getting). They don’t advertise them, but I was told they do make them up and sell them for people. You can see it in use about 4.5 minutes in to the video. I am sure it would take me a lot longer to go up, but it looks easy to use. Still don’t know the cost (are you listening, Travis?) Dave
