| Goblin's new mast from the 29' swedish racing sloop "Flicka". The top 3 feet of the 45' mast were of Ash and had gone punky. After removing the hardware, we cut the mast at about 27' from base, which is solid glued up Douglas Fir staves of about 5 inches in diameter. |
 |
| Mark is helping to secure the 27' section of the mast for the trip to Rob Parish's boat shop. |
 |
| Using a pull knife, you can see I've removed the first half of the bulge that held the brass sail track (not needed for the new chinese junk rig). Before leaving on Sunday evening, I finished the second draw on the opposite side and it's ready for a plaining. |
 |
| Base of the mast has dents from previous pennies placed in the mast step for traditional folklore reasons. |

| Beautiful hardware that remains at the mast base above the partners. |

Hi Jeff. I posted a question earlier today on here and on google hangouts. To be honest I'm not sure they 'took'. So. Here I go again... On another forum you had posted the intention to use the aluminum mast that originally came with the boat. You went so far as to say that you had it completely stripped of hardware. Here I see that you are using a wooden mast. The question is, what caused you to change your mind? Thank you.
