[Alberg30] Towing by bow cleats

[Brian Zinser]

I store inside and have to step and un-step my mast every season.  I
have a small pair of sawhorses that I use to help make moving the mast
around easier. In fact, my wife and I and the elderly man who owns the
winch and lifts nothing are able to accomplish the job. If you are
storing your mast off the boat, or on, make sure the weight is on either
the fore or aft (not sure of the right terms) edges of the mast, not the
sides.

Having just unstepped the mast, I would sure as hell not tow my boat by
a line attached to the mast, as the bolts holding the mast to the deck
step are about 1" long, drilled into cast aluminum.  Thanks for all your
advice re: unstepping the mast; I would liken the A-30 mast to a tree
trunk.  Really heavy and it took four guys to handle, but that is
exactly the sort of mast I want on a boat.  I just hope these guys are
available in the springtime.
