Talking about preventing freezing – make sure that your spreaders are draining water (open end down). The natural thing is to hand them with the open end up, but this is the wrong way.

I think this is probably also a good practice for the mast. I think you are going to be surprised how heavy the mast is, I would be uncomfortable putting that much weight on the pulpits. Build a wooden cradle that sits on the boat and braces off the toe rail. Probably need 4 or 5. Your mast is probably going to be close to 60' length so be careful how much extends out the front and back. If you have no mast work to do you'll probably be able to safely store it and the furler at the boat yard. How are you getting the boat home?
