Rob, you are sort of correct .. my mast is laid down on my boat right now with most of the overhand over the bow. There's at least ten feet of mast hanging over the water up there and it happens to be the top of the mast, right where I needed to unscrew those tangs. I started out as you described, in my tender, going round and round with a little help from the admiral up on deck .. then I realized! Because the shroud is not connected to anything on the other end I could angle it up straight enough to turn the tang without having to go round and round with the shroud. I instantly felt stupid, but relieved that the job got so much easier.
Whatever though, you do what you have to do .. I've done weirder stuff than that to make things work on the boat. Thankfully we had nice weather yesterday ... not like the day before when I was fighting wind and waves in my 8' Walker Bay tender to get the rigger aboard. Two grown men, complete with knees and other body parts to further complicate the row, made it kind of an awkward trip. But you gotta do what you gotta do <http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Ki6lcIT7--/18omqiw9mleoyjpg.jpg> .
