[Alberg30] Lowering mast from deck

[James Schueler]

Alfredo,

Thanks for the reply but I should have been clearer in my description of
what I was trying to accomplish.

The mast is already unstepped and is lying on the pulpits. What I need
to do is get it off the boat and to the ground. Due to the weight of the
mast I wasn't sure if 6 of us with lines attached to the mast would be
able to lower it.

Again, any advice is appreciated. I need to get it off the boat so I can
do some deck work.

Thanks,

James

Yves got detailed instructions on how to safely lower the mast on his
site. http://www.caphorn.com 

Good luck.
