Correct. We have done a lot of these over in the Tampa bay area. It's usually fairly simple, remove masthead (either cut or unbolt depending on the brand), shorten, shorten
electrical etc, rebolt or weld masthead back on. Shorten mainsail - or replace depending on age. Most owners report no performance loss/difference.
