Here is Steve's checklist:
Kari,
I prefer to raise or lower the mast when the boat's at the dock because it's
easier to step on and off the boat rather than climbing up and down the
ladder. But then again, there's nothing like hearing a little splash and
not knowing what made it. Here's my checklist for lowering:
LOWERING THE MAST TO THE STERN:
WARNING: Never let anyone stand under the mast while lowering
1. Disconnect the back stay tensioning line
2. Disconnect the boom from the traveler
3. Remove the traveler bar
4. Hoist the boom up with the topping lift and cleat it off on the mast
5. Disconnect the pop top slider and close the hatch
6. Disconnect the radio and steaming light
7. Wrap up jib sheets and jib reefing line
8. Disconnect forward lower shrouds and add extensions
9. Loosen all other shroud turnbuckles
10. Deploy and secure mast crutch
11. Deploy and secure hoist crane to cabin top block
12. Attach aft lower shrouds to crane
12a Alternate: Attach line from crane to mast bail if you're thus equipped
13. Tie hoist winch line to bow cleat with a bowline
14. Snug the hoist to slack the bow stay
15. Disconnect bow stay
16. Crank the hoist "down" giving the mast a little shove to get it started
17. Check the shroud extensions as you lower to avoid entanglement.
18. Tend the jib as you lower
19. Lower the mast to the crutch
20. Disconnect mast from tabernacle
21. walk mast, boom and jib forward and secure the whole bundle on the bow
pulpit.
