[Rhodes22-list] Mast Step Popped

[Lowe, Rob]

Dennis,
You have no mast step (the metal fitting on the cabin top) or no compression post?  Hard to step the mast without a bracket to set it in.  I suppose you could support the mast on a piece of plywood temporarily.  If it's the compression post, a 4X4 would suffice temporarily.  Pictures, man, pictures!  - rob

While this great discussion is underway may I ask?  If your boat had no mast
step or method of stepping the mast how would you plan an prepare to step
the mast?  I may get a chance to put the boat in the water and rig it prior
to winter if I can get the framing and bulkhead installed.  I'm a little
anxious to float prior to tenting and taking the hull down, removing all the
hardware and repairing and painting.  

Sincerely,
