ORDER YOUR MAST!!!

I ordered my mast mid August 2021, it is now mid February 2022, and I am still waiting for the mast to arrive. I highly recommend you order your mast 6 months prior to launching your boat (shipping may vary, but you've been warned). For 3 months, my boat has been launched, floating at the dock while waiting for her mast. While waiting, I have installed a recessed motor controller and GPS in the cockpit. I also  “tuned” in the charge controller for the solar panel to meet my electrical system needs. But mostly waiting, waiting, waiting.

MAST STEP/CHAIN PLATES

The boat was very carefully leveled. An elaborate square was built to measure the stem and chain plate placement. So this uses the center of the mast step as the center of everything. All the measurements were done several times and holes were drilled.
