Looking at an getting a 1984 Melges M16 Scow. The guy that owns it has only sailed it a few times and doesn't know a lot about it. He says that it will take more than one person to get the mast up but im pretty sure I could do it by myself can anyone support that? You have to hold the mast upright on a knob while you connect the stays. Also want to know how fast they can get up to. Thanks

I have just done a "google" on M16 Scow.... is that a water yacht? most people here work on wheels under the mast and sail with land yachts.

Try this link they might be able to help you...
