yoyo had a really stuck mast, today we finally managed to separate it.

Tried 4 booms the other day, but couldn't get enough grip on the top half. Today I found a skinny mast adapter, this improved grip on the top section, but it still slipped.

Tried an idea that popped into my head last night, bound a length of rope around the mast near the top boom and tied to the boom clamp rope. turned the boom in the direction the rope was wound, and as the rope tightened we had grip, the joint turned and we just wound it apart.

I have an idea that this extra grip, by binding a rope around the mast, would work with an uphaul. So 2 booms with uphauls should be enough to get any stuck mast apart.
