Ouch! The club here has two smaller fixed cranes and a "pole cat" - a used
utility truck with a
boom arm. The smallest fixed crane will do masts easily up to 30 - 32' boats.

Wow. The yards around here us the travel lift or a Lull with a jib boom on the
end of the forklift mast to haul masts. The going rate is $65 per hour. I've
seen a couple of masts lifted out while the boat sits in the haul out slip,
then the boat goes back to her slip while the work on the mast i

FWIW,
We sometimes hire a crane tow truck to unstep masts or to lift out an
engine. Much cheaper than a boatyard.

I would just go ahead and pay to un-step the mast.
I was all worried about that before doing it last spring. It took 10
minutes of taping the rod threads (To mark the turnbuckle position
adjustment), 10 minutes for 'Stumpy' to pick it up with the travel lift
and set it down on saw horses (

On the 35-3, you would not have to affect the standing rigging to change a
sheave. It should be possible from a bosun's chair (at the crane or on other

Hi Bev,
Removing the masthead crane (the thing you're calling a cap) will
require dropping the forestay & backstay, for most older rigs. This
is an unusual practice if servicing at a mast tower. If you have a
roller furling jib then it's definitely not worth the bother.
Normally you secure t
On my 26 the mast cap comes off as one unit with the main and 2 jib halyard sheaves all together. It's then quite easy to do the sheaves at the workbench.

We have a mast tower at the club. The main sheave needs to be replaced. Can we
take off the cap at the mast tower and avoid hauling out the mast for the
replacement?

Is the 29 keel stepped? If so, I would say yes with the lowers holding
everything in place in calm conditions for a few hours.
