Sure gets dark quickly where you are and you guys must down a lot of Red Bull! Spar crane setup looks pretty much the same as ours One additional comment. I used to store my mast outside on sawhorses in my back yard with spreaders attached. Water can get in to tuff luff, roller furling track, spreaders, etc ... Last few years I left it atop my boat in my yard with the spreaders removed and inside the boat and then I wrapped my entire mast in plastic to prevent water intrusion and subsequent freezing (was getting paranoid about my Tuff Luff I guess). With the new boat there is a spar shed where the masts are stored inside.

Well, here I am pulling my mast in 2 ½ Minutes, mostly in the dark, with my spindly girlfriend doing most of the cranking. (uphill, both ways!) And I was poorly prepared last year! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpz1hAODZAY And Homey ain't painting your bottom OR doing your engine!

Also, if someone could get my mast off in 15 minutes I would expect they could do my bottom paint and zincs in 10 minutes and replace my engine in 5 minutes.

Mast pulling is fairly rare in Maryland. I am almost never hauled out during the winter, but the few times I have been the yard didn't even ask about the mast.

Let's seeeee Mast up = HUGE increase in windage and pressure brought to bear on cradle or jack stand pads = increased issues of hull flexing / damage Effective area of pad in contact with hull is about same as your hand clenched in a fist Pads are located in area of cored hull Yard has purpose built mobile crane for masts with extending boom etc. Takes about 15 minutes to pull Yard staff is well seasoned and qualified Get to thoroughly inspect mast, rigging, lights and instruments every year Have stored with mast down for 30+ years - works for me John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
