How do you get an 80ft mast under a 65ft bridge?

Cant ave been the first time he had done that but impressive nonetheless...................

I know nowt about sailing,but am a bit confused.

The 2x weights(I'm assuming they are) on starboard are there to keep the boat keeled over slightly to one side ?

When he wants to straighten up,how come he did'nt drop 'em into the water,straighten up,and then pull them up on board ?

[Meat-Head]

if there sand, then they would get wet and weight more.

also, could get damaged in water then buggered for next bridge

might act as a break and make it hang a right.

would be more concerned about the INCREDABLE amont of stress on the mounting point.

would be more safter, to have a hydralic mast to fold down.

or just have a shorter mast.

the guy must be a retired physics professor......he calculated that manouver to a t.

looks like me bollox hanging out

[RedSpider]

he can do all the maneuvering he wants but i bet he can't dodge a slab dropped from the bridge as easily
