Sid, I had a 36' Albin and used a block and tackle run from the top of the mast to an eye hook on the dash board of the fly bridge. I lowered the mast and boom aft into a cradle bolted to the top of the aft cabin. I did this to clear the roof of the shed covering my dock. The process involved hooking up the block and tackle, then disconnecting the forward shrouds before lowering the mast....
