Need help stepping mast on Cat 250

[Mako60]

Hi Everyone,

I have recently moved up from a 22' swing keel to a Catalina 250 Wing Keel.
I would really like to step the mast with roller furler on land with help from someone who owns this same boat.

I'm willing to pay for your time if need be - I just want to do it right.
I am in Westerly, Rhode Island and can be reached at 860-938-0202.
Thanks for your consideration.

Macko,

do you know these guys?

More specifically I'm looking for some local "hands-on" help from another 250 owner. This boat will be winter-stored with the mast up so this is just to get me going for the season.

Which is why I gave you a link to C250 owners group. Have you asked there?

 

[Mako60]

No- but now I have. I just saw some closer owners of my boat on this site.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Do you have the factory mast raising system? Makes it an easy and safe one person job. For what it's worth, the furler and sail make it a pain in the butt. Ditched the CDI on our C-18 and our C-22, just not worth the hassle when trailering.

I am not trailering - just stepping the mast for the first time and probably not again for another 5 years. The boat did not come with the mast stepping equipment.
