Lowering mast on B-26
Capt Woody,I would suggest you go to the Balboa 26 web site on Yahoo. A number of posts recently described a variety of methods, techniques, and homemade devices to facilitate mast lowering and mast raising. There is also an owners manual for the B-26 posted in the files section of the site and you might want to obtain a copy since it provides the instructions as developed by the company that built the boat. Hope this helps!Paul.
