[Rhodes22-list] Lowering the mast with Stan's hoist system

[Lowe, Rob]

Bob,
Also make sure you understand how the extender chains hook to the forward inner stays and how the aft inner stays hook to the winch.  You cannot lower the mast with the forward inner stays connected as is. you must either use the extender chains or disconnect the forward inners. - Rob

Bob,
You can do it on the water, just makes it a bit more of a challenge because the boat will rock.  Do you have the mast crutch to catch the mast too?  Make sure it's good and secure. - rob

One more related question -- the photos and video I have seen all show this process being done on the trailer. Is there any reason why I can't do this with the boat in the water? I don't have a trailer and I just plan to lower the mast, repair the furling tube and then crank the mast right back up. I plan to take the boat out of my slip and move it to a longer section of dock where the mast won't interfere with other boats.

Bob
