The one time I pulled my mast I had to: 1. Remove jib, fold, and put away.
2. Remove main, fold, and put away. 3. Remove boom 4. Main halyard is fixed to the reel winch on one end, so I had to cut the shackle off the other end 5. Unwire the lights and radio antenna. 6. Get all turnbuckles loosened and cotter pins out. 7. Get crane driver to go find the crane and drive it over. 8. Get line around mast. 9. *Actually pulling the line with the crane and getting the mast off the boat was a couple of minutes* 10. Get a few people to help carry the mast to the storage rack. If you ONLY count the time the crane is actually pulling upwards, 2 minutes is it ;) In other news, it only took about 5 minutes to lower the new engine onto the mounts, but there were a few steps before and after that.

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<mailto: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
