  • Question:
    Masts - When and how can we step a mast ?
  • Answers:

  • Place a mast with its maximum of rigging.
  • Ideally, the foot of the mast is not glued. The mast being held only by its rigging.
  • With or without gluing, check the tension of the shrouds (1), back stays (2) and stays (3), they can change the position of the mast.
  • In the practice, we can make a light gluing of the foot with an adhesive putty. Gluing that can be removed for a possible repair.
