cutting down aluminum masts - SailNet Community Ive recently took dow some aluminum masts of an old ketch rigged boat to replace my wood ones The main mast is three feet too tall and the spreaders too this makes it easy to figure out how much to cut off The gooseneck can be reriveted easy The problem I have is how to cut a straight cut
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

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!
Mast (Climbing)- No Halyards - SailNet Community The mast loops -- tied around the mast below the lowest inserted slider car -- relieve the weight and make the job easy Think of this as separating the act of lifting from the act of inserting the sliders cars
Single vs Double Spreader | SailNet Community Each mast mfgr recommends such 'pre-bending' for both single and double (multiple) spreader rigs The double spreader rig is usually lighter in weight mass - thats a distinct ADVANTAGE over a heavier single spreader configuration
