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
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
repairing cracked mast with welding | SailNet Community The mast is a proctor, which is 47' and only 6"x4" and has a good deal of flex Even with running backs secured, there is flex to some degree through the entire mast, and especially above the running backs while sailing hard to weather The mast is ~ 1 8" thick, and the plate is a good 1 16 thicker than the mast walls

J24 mast - how much does it weigh? Figuring out how to. . . Mast stepping on a trailer sailer or mast lowering on a keel yacht for bridges powerlines is just all about appropriate systems Many larger keel yachts had to lower their masts to access the ocean due to the road rail bridges in Fremantle Western Australia (you know the place the Americas Cup went when Australia finally pinched it!)
Mast stepping?? Sail Rigging?? | SailNet Community Hello, This is my first sailboat I am having my 28' Pearson hauled to a marina where they will step mast and connect the standing rigging Should I have them set up the running rigging also or is that something I can do myself? Thanks!
changing sheaves on masthead problem | SailNet Community Replacing the sheaves on that masthead should be rather simple, provided the mast head sheave slots are wide enough for the replacement sheaves The two shafts with the cotter pins are sheave axles, and if you remove them, the sheaves should drop out
