For winter storage, here in Montana, I want to lower my deck-stepped mast, due to some problems aloft. Question: Anyone out there has any advice for a good mast cradle? I want to cover the boat with a large tarp, stem to stern, but if the mast is to be the peak of an A frame, it has to be high enough to shed snow accumulations. I'm thinking a cradle made with PVC pipe. David Werner
