Having tried it both ways, we concluded using the block and running back to the cleat on the mid deck was the far easier approach to launching the pole. Mainly because the crew member pushing the

I did it the same way on my previous AMEL, a Santorin. For me it was one good reason to do so: nothing is in the way hen you have to go around on the front deck.

Olaf, Hope the list helps you, and all others that own SM's. We all want every SM maintained well, as it will make them all worth more in the future!!! Check out our youtube channel "Sailing Aquarius
