<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>This is my first year with the boat, and as it has come to that melancholy time to haul the boat, I would like to unstep the mast prior to lay-up. My question: Can 3 guys handle the mast, as it comes down, and then carry it? Any idea on how much it weighs? We have a mast pulling block and tackle rig at the club, and I would like to save the $350 the boat yard wants to do the job. My wife and I could carry our old Pearson Electra's mast, but the A-30's seems a different story.
