Self-professed newbie here... I purchased my J/24 after it had been in the water for quite a while. I recently pulled it out, and want to unstep the mast. My current thinking is:
- use some tree climbers to run a line, with a block in the middle of the line, between two trees
- run a line through the block
- secure one end of the line to a secure point on the mast
- hoist the mast up and pivot forward, lowering until resting on the fore and aft pulpits.
- I have a support to place in the mast port to relieve stress on the middle of the mast
- I have some material to cushion the mast resting on the pulpits
