[C320-list] Unstepping the mast

[Scott Thompson]

There are lots of them in Annapolis, Irv, but I doubt if any will travel 
that far for a small job unless you are willing to pay them hourly for 
travel, which would raise the cost a lot.  If you were to bring the boat 
to them then it might be another story.  But between Annapolis prices 
and the need to pay for dock fees probably this is probably less 
attractive financially, unless you were planning on bringing the boat to 
Annapolis anyhow. I've used Eastport Spar and Rigging, Chesapeake 
Rigging, and Atlantic Spars and Rigging for various things over the last 
ten years, and was most happy with Atlantic.  You can find them easily 
with Google.
