Mast and steel frame repair just a brief note here: I started a thread on February 7th (G10 or G11 on a mast foot) to describe the problems a corroding steel frame caused on our 48. I have just uploaded a description of the repairs with some pictures to the same thread. So now everything is in one thread -- however, as the thread was started some time back, I thought I'd alert you to it, particularly as mast and frames become topics again ... Best regards, Martin

Great catch, Lars - good eye. It sure does look like it needs to be beefed up. Even if the math says no, it would be a good idea, but my guess is the math will say yes. We are very lucky not only that you answer all manner of questions and help us all as you do, but that you look at things like this and alert us to possible problems before they become dangerous. |

Thanks for the caveat, Lars ... and sorry for the delay. Here are the data: - the vertical supports are welded both to the bottom and the top plate;
I hope they don't need to be strengthened as they are stronger than the part we cut out ... which looked original, at least. Best regards,

Dear Lars, thank you for the valuable input! Your explanation (as usual) is perfectly clear ... even laymen as I am one can follow.
Best regards,
