[Alberg30] dropping the mast...

[C.B. Currier]

Bill,
The method employed depends upon the rig you use.  The annapolis rig
requires that you thread a forward and aft line (lets call them A-frame
stays). THe Stay has to work in such a way as to thread through the upper
triangular area of either the port or starboard upper between the spreader
and where it joins the mast. since the butt is heavier and longer it makes
it easire to walk forward with the butt.
A few semantics in the trick.

If you are around annapolis, there are a few folks who may be able to help
you out with this.  Just drop a note as to your location.
