Mastman

The mastman works with the pitman and the bowman to hoist and drop sails and control the spinnaker pole downwind, swapping it from side to side during gybes (when the sails are taken from one side of the boat to another at great speed).

Upwind, he works the primary grinder, trimming and tacking the genoa.

During the pre-start he helps the mid-grinder with the mainsail.
