Mast angle
Posted: Thu Jun 06, 2019 10:15 pm
Hi everyone,
I acquired a ‘66 DS1 last month and have been fixing her up to get ready to sail. One of the things I had to do was make a new mast stub as the PO has cut the original so it was just flush with the deck when the mast jack was all the way up. Anyway, thanks to this forum I knew where to go to get the parts I needed. What a great resource this forum is.
So I attached the new tabernacle onto the new mast stub and slid it into the deck and onto the mast jack. What I see is the mast is at an angle and does not sit flush on the jack. Is this normal? The picture shows how the mast is angle back to get through the hole in the deck.
Lastly, I have a question about searching on the forum. Understandably the search omits words that are very common. How do I get the common word to be included in the search? Adding a + before the word does not work. ie searching “mast angle” ignores the word ‘mast’.
Thanks
