I agree with Dwight, that you will save time, frustration and probably money
with the mast off of the boat. It sounds like a big deal, but it is usually a
relatively cheap and simple maneuver and provides you a great opportunity to
work on the mast, rigging, lighting etc. while out of the
H...Louisiana is a fairly litigious state with Napaleonic law and a

a rig. Some folks around my area hire a tow truck with a boom crane. Yup,
tow truck. They usually charge a lot less than a real crane + operator.
Right you are Dwight, but the marina in Florida is insurance crazy and skill
short when it comes to sailboat rigs. They insist that boat owners hire a
"professional rigger" to assist with unstepping or stepping a mast. My plan is
to improve the situation for now, and unstep the mast to fix the

Steve, it's been a while since I unstepped my mast but I do remember that
there is a keel bolt located under the aluminum plate. If I remember
correctly the "box" is what appears to be wood glassed to the hull. If it
were my boat I'd unstep the mast and make the repairs. I know that

Steve,
I don't know if the 36 is the same as the 35-1 (1973), but mine had
about four or five layers of plywood encased in a thin fiberglass layer
spanning the bilge sump, the cast aluminum box was screwed on to the top
of it. No other fasteners of any kind, just glassed to the hull. When
One of the keel bolts on my boat is under the mast. Yours might be the
same.

Whatever is supporting the mast step on my 1980 C project boat has sunk by
1/2 to 1.0 inch, and the mast is pulling down on the cabin top. There is no
visible sign of rot in the wood and fibreglass cross members at either end, and
I am planning to attempt to put an aluminum plate shim
