Getting ready for the lift.

Electrics need disconnecting.

Backed in and we are in other peoples hands.

Near dry land.

Fiona checks that everything is OK.

All safe and chocked. Phew.

The next operation starts.

Rigging is starting to look slack.

Julian releases the last of the pins.

The crane takes the weight.

The crane doesn&#039;t take the weight for long (note where the crane hook has landed).

That is not how a mast should lay.

Airborne view.

Crashing through the roof.

Things are not looking so good on deck.

Guard-wires are not designed to support a mast.

The parted hook and cable.

The mast finally becomes free.

Assessing the damage.

There used to be lights and electronics here.

The foot is a mess.

Cables are bent, foils are unhappy.

Beyond repair.

Scratches and dents.
