Agreed - pretty common
my aussy halyard ring occasionally gets snagged (the mast hook sneaks into the shackle instead of the ring) and the ONLY way to get it off the hook is to put the cat on it's side
I prefer to do this with at least 3 people - and even better if i can do it in the water to avoid scratches
if i do it on the sand i throw down sailbags, life jackets, anything i got to avoid scratching up the painted boat -less concerned with the gelcoat boat
don't for get tot secure booms, tillers, rudders or you risk damaging them or worse (a broken gudgion will end you weekend)<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Aug 09, 2021 - 07:57 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
