Hello,

Are you sure that you have to pay to have the mast stepped? Most places around here (Long Island Sound) include the cost of putting the mast on and splashing the boat as part of the haul and store costs.

Anyway, the places that I have dealt with made sure the mast was straight and all the rigging was connected. They got things 'sort of tight' meaning it was good enough to sail in light winds, but you really needed to tune it before sailing in anything over 10 kts. You could just tighten each piece a few turns and that would be good enough to get you going.
