[Public-List] Main sheave update

[Amy & David Swanson]

Actually, if you are cheap & in a marina (probably mutually exclusive) with 
other sailboats, you can pull the mast using the masts of the boats beside 
you.  I have seen this done & it works pretty well, although it requires 
some thought & care.  I have also seen it done from a bridge, although the 
local law enforcement doesn't look too kindly on it.  Personally, I wouldn't 
hesitate to try freeing it up with penetrating oil & such, but if that 
doesn't work I would take it down.  Good luck either way.
