they would ship it (for $27, mind you) to Canada. Maybe a trip to Buffalo is in
order.

West Marine does sell it .. in the States, but not in Canada. I called the
local chandleries and no one can get it. So I think I have to stick to light
mineral oil. Where does one find light mineral oil?
Thanks,

Thanks all. I used a pipe wrench and a piece of wood as a cushion and
'drove her home' (after taking any tension out of the rig). Worked out a-ok.
Then I turned my attention to the binnacle and compass. Anyone know where a guy
can get light mineral oil? I tried the pharmacy but all they had was heavy
mineral oil. I have an aquamarine galaxy compass that developed an air bubble
tonight .. oops.
Thanks,

Steve,
Others have given you good advice. Just count the turns on the shrouds as
you loosen the rig. Use a pry bar to move it forward. No biggie.
I put shims under my mast by loosening the rig, placing a vehicle jack
under a winch, lifting it and sliding the shims under the butt.

it was a busy, windy, choppy day and we had to hire a crane to come to the club
to step everyone's mast .. and I helped everyone, so when it came time to do my
boat I was kind of on autopilot. We stepped 29 masts that day.

base that keep the mast centered in the step. My girlfriend says to me the
other day while pointing at a pair of wedges in the boat .. did you forget to
put the wedges in the partner? Um, no I did not. Then I realized my mistake and
took a look at the mast base ... the mast is seated all the way aft. I guess
this would cause some forward rake? I'm all ears in regards to how this might
affect the rig, sail shape, etc?

they are supposed to go. I know I can loosen the tension on the rig and I've
used halyards in place of the forestay and shrouds on previous occasions to fix
this or that but even with the rig tension way down is the weight of the mast
itself going to prevent me from sliding it forward about 1.5 inches? What would
be the correct order to loosen the rig? Backstay, lowers, uppers? I'de rather
not futz with the forestay if I can help it but I did just disconnect it about
a week ago to fix a kink in the furler so I'm not shy to do it again.
