There are a few things I could use. Not necessarily a mast, but if anyone had one nearby I would stick it in the yard for a spare.     Joe Della Barba Coquina       From: Joel Delamirande via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2023 1:31 PM To: Stus-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Joel Delamirande <joel.delamira...@gmail.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stus-List Re: winter storage   If someone wants a mast there one on Kijiji for sale  And there a salvage yard that cut them up because there no room for to store them  He get lots of cnc   On Sat, Oct 28, 2023 at 6:45 PM Bill Coleman via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: As Matt mentioned, after a couple boats blew over at our club, they came out with an edict that any boats with masts up will have to be on a cradle.  That is not to say that a boat can't blow over in a cradle, there are tons of poorly designed cradles, or poorly maintained cradles around.  I have made several over the years, and just this fall got roped into revamping a Catalina 36 cradle. He gave me the original drawings for the cradle, I couldn't believe it was an original design by Catalina - the whole thing, even the longitudinal stringers were only 4" channel, which, after being picked up by the ends, which is how they move cradles here, it sagged down about 6". So it got two new 8" I beams longitudinally and two crosswise under the keel. I would have made it more than 8 feet wide, but the dockmaster told me it couldn't be more than that. The point here, I guess is to get a good cradle.  There are a few down at our club that are an amazing design. They are made by Viking Trailers,  in Butler, PA,  Unfortunately , they don't  have any pictures on their site of them, if anyone is interested I can send a picture. There are four uprights per side, all adjustable in, out, and up, and also have fold down flaps to stabilize it up to 12' wide.  Really well thought out.   Bill Coleman Erie PA Entrada   On Wed, Oct 18, 2023 at 10:19 AM Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Re mast up.  A friend stored his C&C 33-2 with mast up and it blew over in a winter storm.  He now has no mast.   With mast down possibly the reduced windage would have prevented the boat from blowing over but certainly would have not resulted in a mast broken in three areas.  The boat was on a cradle.   Food for thought   Mike Hoyt Persistence Halifax, NS   From: Bob Mann via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2023 10:45 AM To: Stus-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Bob Mann <sailrm...@comcast.net> Subject: Stus-List winter storage   Here in Michigan it's time to winterize our boats until April. For those who store their boat with the mast up, do you leave shroud tension alone or do you loosen the shrouds for the winter?
