Thanks for the replies.
My plan, with the rigger's assistance, will be to loosen the rigging and
try to leave the mast in place. Then lift the king post/cabin top back to
it's proper place using a couple 2X4 with wedges to do the lifting -- then
remove and replace the support. Might even

It looks to be a fairly straightforward job, and I have a rigger lined up
to help with loosening and re-tuning the mast afterwards.
Has anyone here done this themselves -- any insight, advice, other things
to look
