Andy, If I may. Do yourself a favor. While you've got the mast down, Install a SPINNAKER Crane. (Catalina Direct $ 34.95). If fits over the Masthead Truck. IMHO, it's a very good thing to have.. And is Often forgotten.

The boat was moved to Haverstraw Marina (north Yard) and the mast was taken down to determine if it had a bend. No bend so the boat is being repaired by Samalot. Glass work being done inside and out; in addition to new shrouds and a new wind indicator and a new Windex. While the mast is down I am going to change the mast head sheaves with the new ball-bearing type for the main halyard and a regular one for the head sail (its only used twice a year, putting the sail up and then taking it down for the winter). Also plan to put a mast step plate under the mast step. However, I was wondering if it would fit under the hinged Mast step. I may order it from Catalina Direct with an understanding that if it doesn't fit I can return it (don't know there return policy). While the mast is down I plan to change all the bulbs also. I was wondering however, if there is a way to clean the mast with that aluminum polish. Have you ever used it on the mast?
