Tony,
My 1986 mast appears to be a one part enamel of some kind. I've used Brightside enamel for touch ups. My masthead sheaves are accessed by taking the cap off the top of the mast. The cap is held on with a couple of Philips screws (on the top). The axles are captive in a recess in the mast. If the halyards are out, you can just lift up the axle. You can remove the cap with the mast up. I've done it from a bosun's chair. You need to have a line to hold the halyards up while you remove the axles. Note: if you are using the genoa halyard, only the main axle will be able to be removed. I went up on the main halyard to service the genoa halyard sheaves. Zephyr Works makes some nice sheaves to your specs. Garhauer is also another good supplier.

Ours is a C&C 41 with a Cinkel mast. On another topic, the masthead sheeves need to be replaced. Does anyone have a diagram or info on how to replace. There is no access on the sides of the mast for the axle and the mast is up so I can't see whats on the top plate. Tony W. Triumph 1986 C&C 41 Holland, Mi.
