mast raising C27

Can anyone tell me where to find info on building or buying parts to add mast raising capability to my 1986 C 27. I have access to alum. and s.s. welding and machine shop.

I keep going back to this web site over and over about this Catalina 27 refit:

On it is this link to where he got his hinged mast step, which I hope to order soon...

He used the M30 model.

Check out Bruce Binghams "The Sailors Sketchbook". He gives a pretty good description of a mast lowering system.
