I'm about to put Dolcetto away for the winter in my garage, and I want to rig some slings from the rafters for her mast. The specifications give a Typhoon Weekender's mast a height of 27'. Is that the length of the mast dismounted, measured from the waterline, or measured from the keel?
TIA!

Thanks! The 27' must be height above waterline.

Re: Typhoon Weekender Mast Height
How and where is the mast base stepped?
A keel stepped mast will be longer than a mast mounted on the cuddy roof with a hinge plate or a tabernacle.
Maybe look up Dwyer Masts. They have charts on original mast replacement data.
Good luck,
