Put the frame on the boat with the top to the stern.
Throw a small leader line above the spreaders inside the triangle formed by the shrouds, mast and spreaders.
Feed the A-frame's forestay through this triangle using the leader line and have a crewmember hold on to it.
Attach the A-frame's backstay to a stern cleat loosely (we will adjust the frame after it is standing).

South: The Endurance Expedition
Shackleton's near-fatal journey to the Antarctic has received a

understated, and riveting. It also describes the travails of the Aurora
expedition, intended to lay the groundwork for Shackleton on the other
side of the continent.
