Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

[Randy Stafford via CnC-List]

The mast for my C 30 MK I is about 43’ and weighs probably 200+ pounds.  Two 
guys can lift it (when it’s horizontal) but not for very long and they can’t 
move it very far.

When I bought the boat and moved it to my lake, we built some cradles for the 
mast to lay above the deck and cabin top, on centerline, with the weight off 
the pulpits (slightly visible at 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTb294M1Z6N0UtV0U 
).

Last offseason I pulled the mast out and laid it along the boat trailer’s frame 
rail and a stack of blocks by the trailer’s tongue, in the boatyard.  I moved 
it there on a separate long flatbed trailer, and my crew and I lifted it off 
the flatbed and laid it on the blocks.

This spring the flatbed wasn’t available, so we built some 2x4 trestles off the 
starboard side of the boat trailer, U-bolted to the bunk supports, and 
transported mast and boat to the gin pole at the same time.  I have a 38’ 
trailer so we were able to do that with minimal overhang on each end.

This coming offseason I’ll pull the mast again, and transport it the same way 
to the boatyard, and probably put it on blocks so it’s out of the way for hull 
painting.  Drainage is a good idea.

Cheers,

Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

Talking about preventing freezing – make sure that your spreaders are draining 
water (open end down). The natural thing is to hand them with the open end up, 
but this is the wrong way.

The new furler owners manuals often advise supporting the furler in a
manner that will facilitate draining to prevent freeze damage to the
extrusion.  I think this is probably also a good practice for the mast.  I
think you are going to be surprised how heavy the mast is, I would be
uncomfortable putting that much weight on the pulpits.  Build a wooden
cradle that sits on the boat and braces off the toe rail.  Probably need 4

Re: Stus-List Winter storage of mast

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

Peter,


I am not sure about the pulpits, but many people store masts on the boat. I 
would support it separately (i.e. on some supports, where the mast can be more 
securely attached) and use a middle support, as well (somewhere around the 
spreaders, probably resting on the mast step, unless your mast is keel stepped).


You may also want to raise it above the deck, so that you have access to the 
cabin (and the cockpit) during the winter.


If you have a winter cover that does not use the mast as support, you may want 
to take it off the boat and support it on three sawhorses.

Make sure that you support the furler properly, especially the drum, as the 
furler is longer than the mast (again, unless you have a keel stepped mast). I 
use a length of a 2x3 that goes into the mast and extends about 1 m, to which i 
tie the furler drum.
