[Rhodes22-list] Removing Mast from Boat

[Mary Lou Troy]

We were able to do it with just the two of us. I am short and not 
particularly strong so it can be done with two people.

If I recall correctly (it was a number of years ago) we lowered the 
mast, set the bow end on the pulpit and then lifted the aft end out of 
the crutch and set it on the stern pulpit.

We then set up two step ladders one each next to the bow and stern and 
then moved the mast to the top of the step ladders. I seem to remember 
one person having to hold the other end in place while moving it over or 
something similar.

We were then able to move it from the top of the stepladders to the 
sawhorses.

Take care and good luck.
