Jay,
do you have any documentation about removing the masts from your CK? To
the best of my knowledge, the masts in Bright Star have never been
removed, and I’d like to know what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Lance

Lance,
I’ll check through my files and see if I do. But, the only magic to the process is to use a yard with experience in rigging a carbon mast for removal, then removing it without causing damage. Other than that, disconnect all wires, remove the pins in the mast base (mine has two), then, if Spartite was used at deck level it is possible you might have to break that loose if part of it adhered to the mast or ring.
I’ve never done it either, but I believe someone in this group posted his experience. Anyway, I’ll check and see what I can find.
Jay
