I'd suggest eating the money for a crane or boom truck and hauling the mast. One word: Safety. Also much easier to do a good job without the stump in the way. It will also give you an opportunity to do a thorough inspection, cleaning and lubrication of the entire mast, stays and shrouds and masthead sheaves.

Overall she is in decent shape with a fwc A4 that runs well. Aside from needing major cleaning/polishing and lots of minor fixit stuff, she has one big ugly problem, the mast step is sagging and needs to be rebuilt. I have read up on the repair at cncphotoalbum and it looks doable for a winter project. I wonder, has anyone tried this repair without removing the mast completely? Perhaps jacking the mast up a few inches with some kind of rig from inside the cabin or from on deck? Any idea what the mast with rigging would weigh? It would save me the hassle of removing the mast and rigging, not to mention the crane fee. She is on the hard now.
