Reply To: positioning of mast…
Hello Bob,
The mast will be moved to the front. Problem is there’s not that much room in the wooden 1971 boat. I bought an aluminum mast from Oliver Gronholz. It’s fairly short beneath the deck, thus giving room to move the mast forward. The deck positioning will be between 68-74 cm from stern to front of mast. I enclosed a picture of the (concept) mastfoot that will be placed inside. Sideways movement is almost nothing. And fore and aft movement is like in 1971… It fits nicely… easy within rule margins…
It will be altered a little (minimizing material, without losing strength)
Thanks again,
Wietze
