[Public-List] Mast cradle for canal and winterizing

[Rachel]

There's a photo of Yves Gelinas' A-30, "Jean du Sud," with her mast in  
supports as they cruise the rivers/canals of France.  You can't see  
every last detail, but it does show that they used "X" type cross- 
trees for support, and also that they set the aft one quite high in  
order to make the boat more livable.  Also looks like they rigged  
their usual bimini to the mast for shade.

I don't think we can attach photos here, but you can find it if you go  
to the following link and then scroll right to the bottom:

Congratulations on your new boat! :)
