Again and again. I have two older stubborn masts that are so easy to jam that I give up and carry on the roof every time now.
The last time we managed to take it to parts was crew of 3 sailors on each side ( windsurfers contra kite surfers) pulling and twisting together.
I imagine there should be possible to invent a tool that attached to the mast joint could twist and pull pieces with force.
-I did try to clam two booms to achieve leverage, but doesn't work
- I didn't try my car tow bar and solid tree on the beach yet , Did you?
-should I grease the joint before assembling? with what?
-or take sand paper and file down mast solidly?
So if we are going to invent a tool to dismount two pieces of jammed mast which is more important ? Twisting or pulling?
It should be possible to do simple pulling assembly with line and block but I am not sure if without twisting motion mast will give up or brake in another place instead first.
Or to do two levers clamped to mast to allow rotation ( similar to that automotive for oil filers replacement) . But if twisting without pulling will be sufficient?
Any other ideas?
Maybe some hydraulic device? To pump water inside after sealing both mast ends?
What it happen first? mast's walls will burst or mast dismount ?
