Hi Jerome I think what you are describing is the standard set up? Do you have something different? Some boats had a pivot set up for tabernackling under bridges. Please call or email me directly if you like 510-508-7231 Will Paxton (class measurer)

:: Hello,
::
:: Does anyone has photos of their mast base, on deck and
:: inside the base of the mast section?
::
:: Ballenger explains some sort of tubing (square tubing
:: about 2" x 2.5" with 1/8" wall) that is apparently
:: screwed onto the stainless plate and into which is the
:: section is simply in place with a bolt going through the
:: section. This allows a little play considering the base
:: of the mast always rocks a little.
::
:: I need photos to better understand the mod.
::
:: Thanks!
::
:: Jerome
