- Mast height question - SailNet Community
Mast height is almost always measured from the water But to be sure you know the how high the top of your mast is from the water, measure the actual height of the mast from the deck to the top of the halyard (tape measure) and then add a foot to account for the sheeve typically being below the actual top of the mast
- 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
- Spar vs. mast. Whats the difference? | SailNet Community

- Radar Dome Placement and Installation | SailNet Community

- creating a tabernacle from a keel stepped mast
The loads, once the mast is down, are comparatively light (50-150 lbs at each support) But having the mast pivot above the deck can easily double the load on the deck and greatly increase the cost of the project by requiring the reinforcement in the deck and the lower portion of the mast (tabernacle) to be much more robust in all directions
- Deck vs. Keel Stepped Masts | SailNet Community
If the goal of designing a mast is to reduce bending moments within a mast, the greater the number of panels (segments between shrouds and other supports) the smaller the moments tend to be In the days when single spreader rigs were most common a keel-stepped mast added one extra panel, the segment between the mast partners at the deck and the
