Alan, 

   Rob is absolutely right.  Don't remove the compression post!  (good
catch, Rob!)

The first picture Rob points to is the new design, and will be different
from yours.  Stan moved the compression post when he changed the
configuration of the head.  The second one is from an '86 (Fretnaught,
actually) and should be the same layout as yours.  You can see a more
complete picture at:
http://www.rhodes22.org/rhodes/pics/rummy3.jpg  This is Rum Runner's cabin
(an '89 if momory serves), and the compression post is just to the left of
the fire extinguisher.  The extinguisher itself is mounted to the bulkhead,
which is also attached to the compression post.  You may be able to see a
little bit of the cabin in the following pics, too:
http://www.rhodes22.org/rhodes/pics/Galley-3.jpg  Galley (with a bit of the
compression post visible) of a '76 Rhodes Continental
http://www.rhodes22.org/rhodes/pics/VistaJay4.jpg compression post and
bulkhead of Vista Jay (also a late '70s continental, I think.

Alan,
One thing to be aware of (and I didn't really think about it until someone
pointed it out).  There is a support post (mine is part of a dividing wall)
under the mast that transfers the force and weight of the mast down to the
keel.  Do Not Remove It (and check to make sure it is there).  you can see
it in.
