I'm in the process of purchasing an LM27, down sizing from a Halberbier, it does have a lowering mast, but there is some kit onboard, can anyone advise me what the kit should be and how to actually drop the mast, does it need 2 people? Thanks Jonbeds
Hi jonbeds and welcome. In about a month I may be able to answer your questions, (!) since the yard where my 27 now lives doesn't have a crane and I have to reseal the through deck tabernacle bolts,so am planning to drop the mast. There's quite a lot on this subject on the 6th page of the posts here, which I've used to prepare for my attempt. The only thing I would say straight away, is I'd plan to have at least one helper. Sod's law will dictate that just when you reach a critical point, a bit of the standing rigging will snag somewhere! tony
