[Rhodes22-list] Pop top slider on IMF mast

[Lowe, Rob]

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid that.  But might have to.

Thought about releasing all stays and shrouds except rears and forward and seeing if could tilt mast forward enough to slid it in.  Don't think I can get enough angle on it.
Thought about doing above and using a pry bar on the mast step under the mast and lifting up the whole thing a couple of inches.
Thought about enlarging the existing slot big enough to accept the slider.  Would do this at the very base of the mast where the structural integrity would not be compromised.  At this point the mast is resting on the base.  

Any other thoughts?  Or just suck it up and drop the mast? - rob

I think you get to have some more practice lowering and raising the mast!
