[Rhodes22-list] Securing Mast for Transit

[Lowe, Rob]

That's what I use, but I don't have the mast crutch and rest the mast on the stern rail during transport.  A square seat cushion works fine for that.  I think the issue is supporting the mast when the mast crutch is used to rest the mast on. - rob

How about a square seat cushion atop the PT hatch?
