I have a new to me O'Day 25 and was able to step the mast with much more worry than actual drama. The mast was towards the aft and I connected the roller furling and a mechanical advantage system to and a winch to raise the the mast. Today I will be unstepping the mast for the drive back to my home port.
I was just reading a previous owners post about unstepping the the mast and the directions were to lower the mast towards the bow. the terms " TOWARDS THE BOW" were in bold. Am I missing something? Can I just reverse the process and lower the mast towards the stern using the same gin pole approach?
Thanks!!
