mast weight
From the specifications offered on this page, it looks like the mast on the 26 is the same as the one on the 25, which I have. They are both shown as having a height of 33 feet 8 inches (I think that's from the water line, not the deck). As I recall, the 25 mast weighs about 60 pounds. There are several messages in the archives about systems for stepping these masts. I'm not sure if 2 people can do it without a system to prop it up (see the archives) unless the two people are quite strong. 60 lbs isn't much, but stretched out over 29 or 30 feet, it feels like a lot more. Run a search for "mast step" in the archives. Also, check out his link. http://www.odayowners.com/manuals/25mast/oday25mast.pdf Good luck. Alan
