[C320-list] Pulling the mast

[Scott Thompson]

Surprise is 20 years old and as far as I know the mast has never been 
pulled. I'm thinking of doing that this winter to service halyard 
sheaves, rebed chainplates, etc.  Can anyone tell me what problems to 
expect if I ask the yard to do this as part of winter haulout? I'm 
mostly concerned about cables that may run through the mast step with no 
connector. In case it matters, I believe that my boat was originally 
commissioned by Sail Annapolis in 1999. I suspect that they sold most of 
the 320's of comparable vintage on the Northern Chesapeake, and probably 
the mast was stepped initially under their direction.
