Hello,
First, the mast and boat are plenty strong for work aloft. You will experience much more motion than you did on that Swan, but the boat won't fall over from your weight.
Next, I don't know if this boat's mast is meant to be raised and lowered from deck, but even if it is, I would want to make extremely sure of the details of the operation before trying it.
Depending on the amount of work you intend, it might be best to remove the stick to do it. One can accomplish just about anything aloft, but it is much slower, much more difficult.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
