I'm a newbie and just got a used mistral Maui. I clicked the mast into the sliding car (on land, to see how it all goes together). Now I can't figure out to release the mast from this orange plastic car. Can someone please tell me the trick?
If this is a Mistral Maui with a sliding track as far I recall it looks like this:

This is the same as the 1988 Mistral Equipe mast track red slider car- you just twist the red latch underneath the universal joint 90 degrees and it comes out of the mast track.



Watch this video of the Mistral Competition SST (which also has the same system) to ensure you understand this.
