hi all, my club normally only offers winter storage for our fleet of Person Ensings (23' -3000lb) but this year they offered me a spot too.
I need to provide poppets (boat stands) and take the mast down, but it will be much cheaper than storing in a near by marina. A few friends offered to lend me their boat stands since this is a shoe string operation.
Anyone knows what size boat stands I need ? The boat-stand size calculator from Brownell is telling me to buy:
4x SB1: 6' Sailboat Stands 64"-79" and 1x V-top 64"-79" for the bow.
I think these are really high (64" minimum?) for a 4.92' (59") draft boat? I wonder if any 26-2 owner can share what size boat stands they use?
Also, anyone knows aprox. how heavy my Kenyon mast is ? I might have to take the mast off without a crane and I wonder how complicated this operation will be,
thanks in advance !
