Jeremy,

I am shocked at the price to unstep and step the mast. I also read your 
March 2012 post on Sailnet.com. Here in Northern Ontario, the marina has 
a gin pole and it costs me nothing (other than an occasional bottle of 
scotch for the harbormaster who runs the gin pole winch). In other 
communities I have lived (Chicago and Michigan) I have paid no more than 
a $1 to a $1.50 a foot each way. I would check around at local sailing 
clubs. In this part of the world many have a gin pole and I suspect 
making a hundred dollar donation to their community or youth sailing 
program and they would probably let you use their pole. The rig is 
fairly balanced and goes up and down with no problem. It should not take 
more than about 10-15 minutes each way with two people handling the rig 
and another person running the gin pole winch.
