OK Catalina 25 owners, you've been asked this many times... please answer one more. I have never stepped the mast on my Catalina 25. The standing rigging was disconnected, so I had to re-attach all rigging. I tried to bring the mast back to pin it, however, the forward shrouds seemed to stop me short of the pinning plate. Do I need to raise the mast and then attach the forward shrouds, or am I doing something wrong. I have had much experience with a Starwind 22 mast stepping and it looks basically the same with the exception of the shrouds. Any help or advice would be appreciated. You can email your reply directly to me at starsail@belizemail.net, or post on the forum. Thanks
