Fitting the free-standing mast

I’ve started fitting the mast to the hull. First off the heel fitting.

The heel is bored out to make it a bit lighter
Cutting the slots for the mast rack
Heel fitting on the rack
Mast chocks tweaked to fit
Hmm the pivot pin wants to cut through the back of the mast

I need to think about the pivot pin – it certainly can’t run through the back of the mast! I probably need to make another hole for the pivot somewhere else in the tabernacle.

Drilling mast rack hole

I measured where the mast rack hole should be with the mast in position – setting the mast at the right angle – so the next step is to drill the hole.
