Hello….HP

I had the same problem way back in 1999

I cut the mast about 50mm above the deck and made a brass sleeve about 75mm long that was a loose fit over the mast

To lower the mast…..Lift the sleeve up and slide the mast away…..And the mast can then be laid flat for transport

With a bit of care and practice, the rigging needn't get tangled
