Folding Mast for Cruise Ship 

Seattle-based Uncruise Adventures carried out an extensive renovation of  their  62-passenger SAFARI VOYAGER prior to putting the vessel to work on new eco-tourism itineraries in Costa Rica, Panama, and Belize.  Alan carried out design work for numerous modifications to the vessel, including addition of a small craft lift, bow camera, davit, Panama chocks, access hatches, mooring bitts, and a folding mast (to allow passage beneath bridges with limited clearance).  The drawing and pictures below illustrate the new folding mast.
