To add 2c to Stevan’s description:
I always use a length of rope to secure the foot of the mast (to keep it from
tipping over) and (another one) for the furler (to prevent from sinking or
dragging on the deck or topsides). Don’t overestimate your ability to hold on
to the foot of the mast (it has a wide cross-section and there are usually no
good handholds). It is much easier to hold on to the end of a rope.
