BEFORE derigging anything spend half a day with camera photographing and labelling everything.

This includes the ropes / running rigging, wire standing rigging - and all wiring bfeore disconnecting to remove mast.

Then when mast is down photograph everything on the mast before transporting.

Best investment we made when we bought our boat. We have a photo inventory of everything we could possibly think of.
Helps, for example, before recent trip to top of mast to replace wind instruments. Could see exactly what was up there and plan tools and approach before leaving home. Also buy spares when needed

I agree totally. Also tape the threads on the bottle screws to give you an idea of rigging tension when you re step the mast.

You have clearly never done this job, otherwise you would not have made such a suggestion!

I'm glad I have a stuffing box. Something to think about BEFORE buying a newer yacht.

Ah really that little, so it could rest on the pushpit and pullpit with some padding on the top to support the center. Thats not to bad I thought they weighed a lot more.

They weigh a LOT more than a teenager and thus I would not rely on pushpit and pulpit at all.
It is feasible, but instead you should build wooden frames to support it on the deck so that its weight is well distributed. Three A shaped frames normally are sufficient. Think about the boom too, where will you store it, padding, straps, etc.

 

[Tryweryn]

Can the boom not go in the boat?

It's close

I take it the marina can do all this prep can they?
