HINGED MAST PROBLEM

[Guest]

Having troubles, posted some picture under repair and restoration, anyone have any ideas? Seems like my mast is not original I think. Tabernacle has two different shapes top and bottom. I think DPO replaced the mast with the wrong one and didn't even bother with the stub mast, used a piece of pipe instead. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate hearing them. Also is the boom stock the same as the mast stock?

not sure who DPO is, but i think your observations are correct. both sections of the mast should be the same stock and both sections of the tabernackle should be as well. i was unable to find the photos you posted. did you buy the boat with the different sections or did you have someone do a repair/improvement?

The mast and boom are different size extrusions, the boom is slightly smaller than the mast extrusion. The boom is a Dwyer # 275 extrusion.

If any one is interested I think the photo of my tabernacle can be reached from the link below.

saw the photos. doesn't look right. the two halves of the tabernackle should be identical. sounds like you've got a problem is the set-up you have now functional. have you sailed the boat with the pipe/mast system? who did this to the boat?
