Mast out?
Hi,
Okay, maybe not worth freight back and forth, but the mast could come out just because, if the rod is weary, other things likely are, too. This is a great opportunity to deal with corrosion, fatigue, dents, fasteners, wiring, and all the other likely culprits, with the mast nice and safe at waist level. Yes, it is possible to do the whole thing in place, but I wouldn't even consider it, if I were doing the job.
Sounds like you are getting good measurements, but as Joe notes, you might want to wait to locate those noodles. For instance, are the lower spreaders angled up higher than the upper spreaders? If not, you would be cloning a mistake. Got pictures?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
PS,
Joe, you coming to Sydney on the 13th?
