2008 R-25 Mast, Convert Side Fold to Forward Folding...

[zzr7ky]

I have e 2008 R-25 Classic with the Mast mount which fols to Port for Trailer or Low Bridges. It is challenging from the narrow deck at the end of the bow rail.

I am seriously considering moving it forward like the 2009 and newer vessels. I grew up fabricating sailing rigging.

Can anyone please post any Pictures of the newer setup?
A top down view with Mast folded would be great!

My 2012 R27 has a forward folding mast. I will be putting it on its trailer this week and can photograph it if nobody else posts the photos you need beforehand.

The proposed project seems to be fairly involved. A hinge will have to be welded forward and a support rod will have to be fabricated and installed on the bow.
