The standing rigging weighs under 100 lbs, would guess the mast is 200 lbs. I normally disconnect the forestay, coil it and store it on board for the winter to protect the Harken Carbo Foil. I can pick up and carry the mast myself, no problem placing it on a rack up to shoulder height.
To switch from saw horses to a mast dolly I place the dolly beside the mast in the middle, left one end of the mast and pivot the mast on the far sawhorse. If I end up on a higher spot on the mast racks I pick up one end and put it on the rack, then go to the other end and lift the mast up. Based on that I have to think it is under 250 pounds. Michael Brown Windburn C&C 30-1 From: Randy Stafford <randal.staff...@icloud.com> Hi Gerald, I don?t have an exact weight for the mast on my 30 MK I, but I would guesstimate it?s in the range of 200-250 pounds. Two guys can lift it but it?s a struggle, and they can?t hold it for long or move it very much. Four or five guys can carry it more easily.
