Can anyone from the E26 crew give me some clues and/or tips on taking down a deck-stepped Kenyon mast? Obviously I need to remove sails, lines, boom vang, etc. I think I can figure that part all out. Then detach the furler and stays (any particular order recommended?). Big question - how does the mast actually detach from the base? It wasn't obvious at my first look, but is there a pin or bolt? Anyone have pictures? I know from Randall's pictures there's a wiring and antenna cable inside I need to detach once it's lifted, but he completely re-did his to be able to lower/raise from the ground.
Our club has a hand-cranked crane tower that I can pull up under once it's on a trailer, and I intend to attach the strap so it slides up and lifts under the spreaders until the weight shifts, but the detach part I need to figure out. Appreciate any help as well as any "gotchas" I might encounter.
