sponsor the Saturday evening's festivities, they brought over the 30 and

Hi Guys,It was really great to meet you guys in Newport on Saturday. I regret
not having brought Lolita but, I had a great time none-the-less! I really
enjoyed seeing the boats and thanks to those that let me board and have a look

If the 29 is like the 30, then the whole top of the mast (aluminum casting)
comes off - it rests on the top of the mast, but the casting goes down inside
of the mast. The sheaves are in the top piece, and you must take it off to get
the sheave axles out. Mine is secured with about 8 stainless
I would just go ahead and pay to un-step the mast.
I was all worried about that before doing it last spring. It took 10
minutes of taping the rod threads (To mark the turnbuckle position
adjustment), 10 minutes for 'Stumpy' to pick it up with the travel lift
and set it down on saw horses
You got a bargain! Cost me $400 to unstep the mast of my 35, and $800 for
my 28 in Annapolis!

FWIW,
We sometimes hire a crane tow truck to unstep masts or to lift out an
engine. Much cheaper than a boatyard.

I’ve been lucky as well, but I can offer up some good tips:

Some great advice! My wife, a very reluctant sailor, sought advice years ago

All the discussion about unstepping the mast has me wondering about the
merits of leaving it in or pulling it out for the winter.
In the owners manual for the CS 30 is states

In the boatyards around Boston.almost no masts are removed for

Same in Annapolis. Masts stay in the boat unless they are being worked on.

This is a long time debate. Which damages boat / mast more? Removal and
reinstall of mast and potential mishaps or leaving it up? I know that one

The yard where I keep my boat requires the mast to come down for winter storage
on the hard. I feel it gives me the opportunity to have a look at everything

Ours used to do so as well - insurance now, we can leave them up. Mine

an extra consideration is that if you are hauling by a crane, the procedure

The major consideration that I have in winter mast removal is that a keel

ice where I do not want it. My mast comes down and the boat is shrink wrapped.

While we are chatting about annual mast pulling our club Is looking at a

I do not but, there is a maybe salvage yard in Quincy ma. That might have
something... they are called mass marine parts. They have quite a few mats
and one may suffice. They have a list of masts and the boats they came off

Just has a rig come down yesterday on a Laser 28.
It was blowing like snot, tho. The attachment below gave way, and came up
through the deck ripping an 8 hole there. They were actually able to get
the mast back on the boat and make it back to Port Dover, amazingly.
