[Rhodes22-list] Lowering the mast with Stan's hoist system

[Melvyn Rothbard]

Bob:I do not have a trailer either.  I do it in water from my dock.  It helps to have the boat broadside to the dock.  Also, Stan's tip about taping the back stays to your back rails really helps keeping the wires out of the water (not to tight).  Also make sure all of the stays and shrouds are free and untangled
good luck

 One more related question -- the photos and video I have seen all show this
process being done on the trailer. Is there any reason why I can't do this
with the boat in the water? I don't have a trailer and I just plan to lower
the mast, repair the furling tube and then crank the mast right back up. I
plan to take the boat out of my slip and move it to a longer section of dock
where the mast won't interfere with other boats.

Bob
