Ron See Bob Duerer web site _http://members.aol.com/bobdeurer/home.htm_ (http://members.aol.com/bobdeurer/home.htm) I think he has pictures, etc. on removing a mast. John Jennings In a message dated 12/3/2007 11:51:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Ron, two (among many) methods come to mind: 1. Raft along side a buddy with a 35 to 40 footer and use one of his halyards 2. On the Catalina web site there is a good example of a "gin pole" type of arrangement that can be easily constructed out of common lumber. Other than that it's not as big of a task as it would appear, just have plenty of strong help, think it thru and go slow. Mark, Gratis (6115) Want to keep your WHOLE PAYCHECK?

I have a '73 and need to do some mast work. Since I have the boat in a slip and have not yet dropped the mast, can you recommend a technique ?-Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: _Sailor Chef_ (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[email protected]) Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007 8:41 PM Subject: Re: catalina27-talk: Steaming light lens? Peter, I may have one on my salvage '73, I'll check tomorrow morning and let you know. As far as the wiring, if yours come out the side of the mast near deck level, if so you can use the old wire to pull a new one. If not it's not that hard to drop the mast and go thru it to check for other problems as well. Mark, Gartis (6115) Want to keep your WHOLE PAYCHECK?
