Hey...if you get a whole bunch of blocks you could keep the rigging and raise the whole deck. That way you could have standing headroom in the cabin too! All in a 15 foot boat! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve R" <stever@mail.saabnet.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 9:30 AM Subject: M_Boats: Mast Base Block for Bimini

I am thinking of putting a block of wood under the mast base bracket to raise the boom, and have more headroom under a bimini. I would need new shrouds, a new forestay and a tether to hold down the tack of the jib. Plus some long bolts to fasten the bracket through the wooden block.

Am I missing anything here?

Are there any reasons not to do this?

Thanks,
