[C320-list] Remove mast to replace rigging?

[Tony Nye]

Hi.Larry.
We have recently had new standing rigging for scallywag #450. Our rigger advised taking the mad down too. Good opportunity to check mast fittings etc..

I am planning on replacing all of the standing rigging on WindSwept
C320#246.  My normal rigger said he would have to drop the mast because
replacement of one of the lowers (don¹t remember if it was the for or aft)
and the intermediates would require removing the spreaders.  I consulted a
second rigger by phone and he confirmed that this could be the case.  What
is your experience?
