Re: M_Boats: Mast-Section Response
Jerry, I guess I send this e-mail here cuz I don't know where you will be to get it!?!? (get it?) Thank You for the offer to investigate my perverse concern for the mass of the mast. Long time no see! You have a standing invite when your in the 'hood. Just call so I know when. I am refurbishing my boat and am looking to replace the mast so it will fit my tall rig sails. I am not enamored with the OEM section (in the tall version) its fine in the std. I think I am looking at a 'D' section for less "noodle" action when in the tall config. Of course you would be called upon for wire work. I am fairing keel, bonding cabin sole,relacing deck wood trim blah blah. You will appreciate the fact that 1 side of my boat is yellow and the other side and transom are white. I will finish the transformation from yeller to white ASAIGTI. I am trying to get this boat suitable for the August gig in Monterey. If you have time on the next trip thru to the Old Pueblo call.

good to hear from you, Gary. On the mast, why not just try fixed spreaders? More hassle to put the mast up and down, but they would stiffen the rig noticably. That way you could use the old masthead. The mast is the same as Roger uses on the MacGregor 26 if you are still on speaking terms with him. I would really fight to keep from having more weight aloft. Hope to see you in Monterey. Bob C and I will kick your butt. (unless you spring for the tall rig).
