[Public-List] mast weight

[crufone at comcast.net]

Roger, 

I added supports to my trailer so that the mast and boom are carried along the side at waist height.  

This has worked well for me. I add an extra tail light on the end of the mast wired into the trailer lights.  The mast is positioned back far enough so that it does not contact the tow vehicle while making turns. The mast extends perhaps ten feet beyond the trailer but only five or six feet beyond the boat hull at the stern end.  Two men can heft the mast onto these supports while standing on the ground............using three is easier. When you get to where you want to splash in you can easily heft the mast off the trailer unto saw horses to assemble prior to stepping.

I thinking more like 300 pounds.  Does anyone have advice on how to horse 
the mast onto the deck?  With the boat on the trailer, my side decks are 
about 10' off the ground.  I was thinking of taking the stanchions off and 
pulling the mast up from the deck on 2 diagonal 2x4s about 15' apart so 
pullers would be working from cockpit and bow deck.  Guess I would have to 
hold the tops of the 2x4s out with some kind of deck mounted brackets so the 
mast clears the fat part of the boat amidships.  I'm not too sure how to get 
it from the side deck to the cabin top and onto the pull/push pits?

Dan, 

I am going to have to get my mast back up on the top of my boat on 
Sunday. I will try to get a consensus from my helpers if you don't get 
an answer before then. I presently have it setting on four 2X4 posts 
with brackets at the top. I just went out and was able to lift one one 
end without too much dificulty. I would guess it at about 200 lbs. or 
so. But that is only a guess.
