I agree with Salty. The mast should come down every year. There's just
too much important stuff up there.

Try calling some sign companies. They have long reach cranes that can
lift just about what the mast on a boat under 35 feet weights. Often,
they will be looking for some fill in work and, not being in the marine
business, their prices may be lower. I had mine taken down by a sign
company in Detroit for $110 and I wasn't even there to help.

I can get my rigger/climber for less than that, and she'll do the work while
there.
