I agree with Joel. With no load on the mast, you can take the outers off, install the tubes and reattach without a problem - the inners will hold the mast in place. (I am speaking of experience with a 30-1, which has a very stiff mast, yours may be different, but I doubt it.) Be sure when you re-tension everything, the mast is in column and even on both sides.

I'm pretty sure I can do this but need confirmation/guidance from the list. What's the safest way to go about this? My boat has one set of outer shrouds and one set of inner. I'll be putting the covers on the outer shroud turnbuckles only. Should I use a halyard as backup? I figure loosen tension on outer shrouds evenly. Put tension on halyard (fixed to toe rail) and release that side's shroud. Put cover on, loosely re-attach turnbuckle and do over again on the other side. Once done tension the shrouds properly. Is this right? I've got a brand new genoa and I'de like to protect it best I can.
