I like the stepped mast idea, however the bracket that attaches to the portion of the mast that goes below deck failed. Yes it just broke clean and that was a mess. I am thinking of having a new mast cut and mounting it through the deck to prevent future problems. Is there a better design or would you suggest me have a new hinge arrangement made? where can I get information? Is there someone still making Day sailer? I want to get back out on the water but first want to fix this problem correctly. HELP, ANY IDEAS WELCOME.
