Claude,

Welcome to the fleet. The mast is easily dropped with two-people. I usually just grab someone else who is at the dock, but if you haven't done this before I'd be happy to help you out.

I can do Friday lunchtime, or Saturday afternoon.

Let's take some photos and post them, so the next person who needs to take down their mast knows how to do it.
