Now that's a great idea!
I love the sacrificial halyard idea...me thinks I am replacing because i have NOT done that over the years - all other lines are in the protected garage.
Another thought about rocking in the cradle or on jack stands - I figured the rigidity of dirt versus h2o would cause undue stresses in odd places - mast twist energies affecting the hull rather than transmitting into the water - i'm not a physicist but I play one on TV
The engineer i spoke with said, "Nah". Worse reality is the boat falls over; you could also get crazing in the gelcoat if the turnbuckles are too tight (not happened to me). But again, probably a smaller boat issue.
He also said nirvana is keeping the boat in the water; thought I should just move.
