Mast Lowering Rig
Seen a few options for this but would like some further opinions/photos of successful (safe) setups. I'm moored in the Swan River so have to navigate the famed Fremantle Traffic Bridge with the mast down.

My boat is a 24 footer fractional rig with about an 8.5 meter mast,an inner forestay, two sets of side stays (one set on spreaders) and a running back stay. The mast pivots aft from the deckhouse. I've attached a photo so you can maybe see the standing rigging if you zoom in.

I have a couple of spinnaker poles as supports to form what I guess is a windlass bipod?

These photos predate a complete scrub and the removal of about 4 inches of barnacles, mussels and other assorted aquatic life that the previous owner left me!

Appreciate any advice forthcoming...
