I’m afraid it’s that time of year when some masts will be migrating from boats to our mast racks. I wanted to remind folks that in order to use the mast racks you need to get a tag from the office to attach to your mast. You must also remove all spreaders and secure shrouds, stays, furling systems and other rigging to the mast. This really helps us maximize the use of our mast racks. Thank you.
