[Public-List] Mast Rigging

[Don Campbell]

 From the Hunter masts I have seen there is a fair amount of bend put 
into them from the diamonds. That said, they do start out straight. The 
chap next ot us in Burlington takes every wire and spreader  off to 
store his mast from a Hunter 36. (There is probably no backstay on this 
boat either!)
