First of alll I'd ask why your boat has to be in the slings to remove the
mast. I've never heard of this before?!? Sounds like they are attempting
to pad the bill.
Normally you just tie up next to the mast crane, remove the lower shrouds
and once they have the mast hooked up you just remove the other stays and
lift it off.
