Unstepping a keel-stepped mast requires disconnecting all standing rigging, electrical wiring, and the boom before using a crane to lift the spar from the deck.3:33 On a 1980 Baltic 51 named Vénus, the 24-meter, 700-kilogram mast proved difficult to remove because the Spartite sealant at the deck collar remained bonded despite nearly one ton of upward crane tension.6:21 To break the seal, the crew drilled through the hardened plastic compound around the entire perimeter of the mast at the deck level.5:51 Before the lift, the crew prepared support blocks with foam and padding to protect the mast during storage.0:55 Because the internal halyards were broken, the crew attempted to use a man-lift to reach the masthead to install a new messenger line, though the lift height proved insufficient.3:35 After the mast was successfully pulled and lowered, the crew covered the mast hole with a bucket and tarp to prevent water ingress during winter storage.8:11
