Mast Removal

[Jeremy]

Sorry, I didnt see your post until it got bumped.

Endeavour Marine, based at Botany Bay Yacht Club. They have a crane and are reasonable with their prices. Unfortunately the crane is too light to lift a tophat, but they have two slips.

Glad it went well.

I dont suppose you have the plans for the step that you gave to the fabricator?

G'day Jeremy,
Endevour marine, did that use to be Dave Mckai?
A mate of mine, who actually has his boat in botany bay, Granny Smith which is a currawong 30 if you've seen it, made the step.
I don't have the plans they were all drawn on a whiteboard hahaha. Its a similar shape to the original but a bit lower with more reinforcement.

Cheers,

Granny Smith rings a bell, ill have a closer look at it when i sail by next.

Endeavour Marine is on the site (BBYC) which used to be Makay Marine. Though Dave is still around laying and servicing moorings amongst other things.

Found these two photos in my files.

Getting close to time for me to replace my harbour bridge.
Haven't decided where to get it done, probably in aluminium.
Join me if interested or let me know of anyone who might take it on. Preferably around Monavale.
Cheers.

Woodsy,
team up with Vivian Wallpape on the Facebook Top Hat site, she needs her mast down too.
