- Deck vs. Keel Stepped Masts | SailNet Community
This somewhat reduces the structural advantages of a keel-stepped mast to next to zero assuming that a deck-stepped mast is properly engineered, and that is a big if! There are several things that I consider critical to engineering a deck stepped mast properly Primary is having a jack post below the mast
- Spar vs. mast. Whats the difference? | SailNet Community
The mast of a sailing vessel is a tall spar, or arrangement of spars, erected more or less vertically on the centre-line of a ship or boat Its purposes include carrying sail, spars, and derricks, and giving necessary height to a navigation light, look-out position, signal yard, control position, radio aerial or signal lamp

- What is a Deck-stepped mast and keel-stepped mast
The mast "step" is the location where the bottom of the mast is secured If this step is on the deck, the weight of the mast is usually supported by a "compression post" or weight bearing pole under the deck and transferring this force to the keel
- creating a tabernacle from a keel stepped mast - SailNet Community
Mast sections as cantilevers and deck partners are not strong enough to resist the high bending loads anf thrust from a large mast pushing forward as it is being lowered Eliminating the portion of the mast cantilevered above the deck keeps the mast base and king post largely in shear and axial loading, and reduces the thrust resisted by the deck
- Fixing a broken mast - SailNet Community
I hope someone can help out a buddy on mine I just got an email from him about his mast being broken about 2 feet from the tip of the mast I don't know how it was done or what the resulting pieces look like now but I was hoping for some suggestions I have an Albacore with a broken mast that
- Mast Life and When to Replace It ? | SailNet Community
A mast generally speaking is not subjected to a huge amount of changing load that would work-harden the material Most of the load on a mast is a compressive load induced by the stay wires, shrouds Those same stays, shrouds serve to fully support the mast section and reduce (almost eliminate) any movement
- Mast Winch Install Rigging - SailNet Community
Hi all, I'm in the process of planning to install two Lewmar 16STs on either side of the mast of my PS 34 I've added hardware to masts before, but never winches It's a pretty stout mast, but doesn't have any built-in pads reinforced locations for winch mounting I have a few questions about
