Question:

Ten points! What is it meant by hoist in this context, please?

Weigh anchor and *hoist* the mizzen in your photos with one of these shipshape textures.

Answer:

It doesn't really matter. It's just trying to sound nautical. It means pull up with a rope.
The same thing that is meant by hoist in every other context; to raise.
It means raise.
