I would love ideas for lowering the mast easily. On the Catalina list server run by Catalina Direct, the talk is all Catalina 22's which have a different mast setup. Any ideas would be appreciated.

stepping masts

i recently bought a 25 and if the mast is pinned(bolt through the base like a hinge) like mine is its easy. take the mainsheet and tackle and attach to the jib halyard. loosen side stays but donot disconnect, just loosen. detach forestay. one person should be on the tackle at the jibhalyard and one person on the boat. slowly lower the mast down to the stern.
