Danny, You can always devise a bridle that would grab the mast by the spreaders (without putting any pressure on the back of the mast). You can get up to the spreaders using a small ladder (or get yourself lifted in a bosun's chair or a harness). This is a reasonably standard practice if your mast has two set of spreaders (e.g. like mine).
Of course if the yard has its own way and does not want to listen to suggestions, you cannot do much. It helps if you demast on your own (how we do it in our Club) - you can fiddle to your heart's desire.

I basically have two options where they are concerned. Find another yard for storage or, wet store the boat in a slip. I don't think I would mind the wet storage option if she wasn't in such a need for a bottom job. What do you guys think? The reason they cannot remove the mast is because they use a sling and the sling would damage the track... Maybe someone can recommend a place nearby where I can store her on the hard. i know not every yard requires the removal of the mast. Danny Westport Point, MA
