Stepping the Mast-Cal 31

Getting a bottom job next week and need to un-step the mast to do some wiring. Plan is to use a tree service with a bucket truck; any tips and tricks greatly appreciated. Thanks, John Stacklyn Cal 31 "Sol Survivor" Shell Point, FL

have 3 or 4 saw horses to keep mast up off ground... this will make easier working also put 1in PVC for wire harness inside mast ...have all rigging ready to "POP"...so that you can get mast down quickley run one line from speaders flanges and a 2nd line top 5ft of mast to the bucket...third line from base that you can steer ....leave boom on deck with sail and cover...remember if the tree guy yells "Timber" run like heck... edward From: John & Julie Stacklyn <st… [at] outlook.com> To: CalList <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 5:46 AM Subject: [Cal_Boats] Stepping the Mast-Cal 31 Getting a bottom job next week and need to un-step the mast to do some wiring.
