Mastfoot

Post by Olmate-sail156 »

Hi all.
Haven't visited the site for a while.
Some years ago somebody broke their mast foot and an old gentleman in Melbourne was said to be a source of a new one.
Can anybody give me his details or tell of another source?
A broken shroud took care of the existing one although rewelding it is not out of the question if necessary.
Best to all, Graeme.

Here is the data:
http://www.investigator563.com/forum/vi ... ?f=2&t=147

Note to all- Up at the top of the page, there is a Search icon, which will allow you to search this site for particular info. Unfortunately, so far we have not moved across from the old site all the technical info, so please don't be shy to ask if the Search function yields a blank.

Thanks Ian,
We may be in trouble when Mr Keeley leaves us. New mastfoot/deckplate in post for $76.55.
All new rigging being fitted to mast.
Next question: How to adjust/tension/tune the standing rigging.
The shrouds and spreaders are one question and the forestay/backstay another.
Best regards,
Graeme
