Unfortunately, the data loss wiped all the great responses that I was planning on using in a couple of weeks here! Just to repost my situation, I’m shipping my Tall Rig Cat from Pensacola, FL to Corpus Christi, TX. The shipping company wants me to have the mast down and ready for transit at pickup. I’ll be lowering and raising the mast on blocks with a number of helpers.

Somebody was kind enough to provide step-by-step instructions last time, and from what I remember the key is to make an A-frame and build supports for the mast to rest on while trailering. Would really appreciate anyone willing to provide any information to assist (again...)!

This is the A-Frame that several of us use.

Be sure you use electrical EMT steel conduit! Do NOT use aluminum pipe.
