Don't touch a drop until the job is done. Sobriety and having one's wits about are essential. I will drop off to you at RYC this weekend detailed instructions on what works for me. Meanwhile, look on Dianne's trailer at space 3 Brickyard cove to see the strut used to rest the mast on to prevent the mast from levering a hole in the cabintop. All this assumjing your mast hinges back to the stern. SDK

:: All,
::
:: I wanted to get some intelligent suggestions, best
:: practices regarding taking down the mast on the
:: Express27 for transporting the boat and mast. Also, some
:: intelligence around best practices for reinstalling the
:: mask would be a plus as well.
::
:: Has anyone in the fleet ever gotten this down to a
:: science, or do I just drink a lot and wing it?
::
:: Note: I will be working on �Salty Hotel� during the
:: mid-winters, as it needs lots of updating to the
:: non-skid, hardware layout, and interior.
::
:: Looking forward to next season,
