[Alberg30] dropping the mast...

[Mike Lehman]

By butt - I presume you are meaning the base of the mast. It ALWAYS goes 
aft. And it does matter. I haven't measured it when assembled, but it is 
about 3' feet higher than the spreaders - my guess is that it is about 24' 
assembled. There are two blocks both double blocks one with a becket and 
about 125-150' of line.

The photos on the Alberg 30 Web site show the butt going forward. Does it 
matter?

Also, how long is the A frame when disassembled?
