Taking the mast down

[john2]

This winter it's gonna happen, the boat out of the water and the mast stepped. checking the rigging, new rudder bearrings.
A few questions:
How much does this mast weigh? (non furling) Can the bow railing handle the weight of the mast?
And the mast goes on the boat , anyone made mast crotches/supports for the mast and maybe some photo's?

Thanks John
