Subject: Help With Trailering & Derigging
Info: (2022 views) Posted: Saturday 3-16-13 08:53:51 AM
I'd appreciate an image, description and/or measurements for an aft mast support using the motor mount or another way to support the mast while on a trailrite trailer? Previously on other sailboats, I used a pipe that had a U-shaped bracket that clamped over the motor mount, and which had an upper piece to support the mast. The pipe could be moved up or down to facilitate cradling the mast when lowering it. The forward (upper) portion of the mast was cradled on the pulpit using a shaped piece of wood. Any standard way the e27 crowd does this?

Also, I know rigging hates being flogged around when trailering, so plan to wrap mast and rigging tightly with bubble wrap for support. Any other tricks I should know about derigging an e27 before transportation?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide, John
