I agree with Joe

 

Although we do it ourselves and do it every year we also need to have a group 
of people who come on their own time.  For these reasons I do everything I can 
before they arrive to use the least amount of their time that is necessary.  
Much would be the same if you pay to have someone else do it as otherwise the 
Rigger would have to do these tasks that are very time consuming.

 

Prior to the day of un-stepping the mast these are the things that I do and 
that you can also do:

 

-  Have all masthead gear removed.  Wind transducer, windex, VHF 
antenna.  Send someone aloft to do this 

-  Have boom removed.

-  De-rig all running rigging.  Have the halyards no longer running 
thru any blocks attached to the deck and coiled neatly and attached to mast 

-  Un-pin all shrouds and stays.  Lubricate all turn buckles.  Take a 
turn off of each to ensure they are not seized

 

These few steps take a lot of time but perhaps you can contact the people 
un-stepping the mast and see if doing this on un-stepping and then you doing 
the re-rigging would save on your quote.

 

I know that we have worked on a lot of masts.  Some owners are far more 
prepared than others and as a result the job takes less than half the time

This is not routine here in Maryland, my mast has been out exactly one time. I 
think it was $160 out and $160 in, which was the hourly crane charge back then. 
I had all the sails off, wiring disconnected, forestay and backstay off 
replaced by halyards, boom off, and the shrouds ready to go. The crane was 
literally done in about 10 minutes. If you paid the yard to do everything I can 
well see it hitting $1000.

You’ll have a great time going through the canal, if you choose to go that 
route.  I guess with a 29 you could truck it reasonably. 

RCR in Buffalo, across from the Cheerios Plant is a nice marina, they have a 
crane atop their travel lift.

Here are a couple videos of me pulling the spar on my 39 about 18 years ago,

We don't really have any of those clubs, I hear about in Canada, around these 
parts.  Most boatyards here see boat owners as 'marks' and try to squeeze as 
much of the boat owners money as they can get.  I was paying over $900 to haul, 
unstep/step the mast, and move the boat a couple miles to and from the storage 
yard, each way.  That's for a 40 foot boat with about 50 foot stick.  

Not all boat yards are run this way.  I can think of 2 right now that were good 
experiences but neither of them can handle my boat.  One will only take boats 
up 34 feet and the other did not want to mess with the track of the Sheafer 
boom furling system that ran up the mast. 

Most other yards make me want to sell my boat and give up on boating until i 
retire...

  As part of a quote for potentially painting the topsides, we were given a 
cost for the local rigger to take the mast out and put it back in. I thought 
$1500 was a little steep, but I haven't done this since we had our 29-2, so 
maybe prices have gone up by 10X in the interim. I'm curious as to what kind of 
costs folks are incurring on their mast work just to see if this is reasonable. 
I also recently got a quote for $4500 which then ballooned to $9000 and 
counting to replace our rod rigging with wire. Does this sound at all in the 
ballpark?

Hauling, winter storage on the hard and launch run close to $2000 for my
35MKII. I store mast up and haven’t unstepped the mast for about 10 years
at least but if I unstepped on haulout, stored my mast on an outdoor rack
at the yard and then stepped before launch that would add another about
$600 to my bill.

[DJ via CnC-List]

We don't really have any of those clubs, I hear about in Canada, around these parts.  Most boatyards here see boat owners as 'marks' and try to squeeze as much of the boat owners money as they can get.  I was paying over $900 to haul, unstep/step the mast, and move the boat a couple miles to and from the storage yard, each way.  That's for a 40 foot boat with about 50 foot stick. Not all boat yards are run this way.  I can think of 2 right now that were good experiences but neither of them can handle my boat.  One will only take boats up 34 feet and the other did not want to mess with the track of the Sheafer boom furling system that ran up the mast. Most other yards make me want to sell my boat and give up on boating until i retire...DannyOn Oct 1, 2021 11:10 PM, Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List  wrote:

 masts are also limited in size). I think our spar crane can handle 500 kg max.

[Dean McNeill via CnC-List]

Where I store my C 34 boat for the winter in Chester, Nova Scotia, they 
charge me $150 for going mast in or out. They also do a fine job of attaching 
all the rig, stays, shrouds and fuller as well as roughly tune it when putting 
it in… not bad for $150 I figure! 

You do have to store with them for the winter to get that price, but their 
storage fees are equally competitive. The savings more than make up for the 7 
or 8 hour sail from Halifax… and its becoming a nice start and end of season 
tradition with my, now grown, kids.

I should clarify my previous note.  We were prepared and ready to go, with 
extra hands, when the crane truck arrived.  There’s a lot of monkeying around 
to do beforehand.  If you’re paying for all the prep work, it’s obviously going 
to cost a lot more.

[Matthew via CnC-List]

A fellow C owner and I unstepped our masts two days ago.  Our masts are too 
big for the yard’s manual lift, so we arranged for a crane truck to do the 
heavy lifting.  We were both ready when the truck arrived, and we finished in 
less an hour.  The minimum for the truck is two hours, which cost $286.50 
(roughly $150 each).  Going back up in the spring will be about the same.  If 
you paid $3K for the crane, you overpaid by an order of magnitude.

 

Rod rigging is another story.

Rod rigging is much more expensive than wire.  On a C a number of years 
ago the turnbuckles were replaced on the shrouds on both sides using the 
existing rod.  The cost was over 3K

Someone once told me that the cost of a single rod was about the same as the 
cost of all the wire standing rigging on a boat.  Then someone else told me 
that it was the cost of all the fittings on each end of the shrouds and stays 
that were the big cost.  Bottom line is lets not lose our rig!

That sounds like a lot! What does $18k buy you? Surely more than a mast step

Jim,I went to port Townsend rigging, was quoted $13k for all new standing 
rigging. Ended up with an $18k bill. $3k just for the crane to pull and restep 
the mast. Doug Mountjoy sv Rebecca Leah C & C Landfall 39Port Orchard Yacht

Stus-List Mast in and out As part of a quote for potentially painting the 
topsides, we were given a cost for the local rigger to take the mast out and 
put it back in. I thought $1500 was a little steep, but I haven't done this 
since we had our 29-2, so maybe prices have gone up by 10X in the interim. I'm 
curious as to what kind of costs folks are incurring on their mast work just to 
see if this is reasonable. I also recently got a quote for $4500 which then 
ballooned to $9000 and counting to replace our rod rigging with wire. Does this 
sound at all in the ballpark?Jim WattsParadigm ShiftC 35 Mk IIIVictoria, BC

I had my rods reheaded and a new forestay and harken furler installed on my
35-3 this summer. The cost was 8800. Mast down and back up was a little
over 1000 total. I am just outside of Boston, where prices are generally on
the high end

We have a spar crane at our club that is no charge to members.  We get a group 
of owners together to do our own

If we pay someone it is under $500 each way for  boat such as the 35.  I 
suspect that you may need to hire a boom truck, etc as part of your mast down 
and put it back up
