I have been advised to Top & Tail my mast sections and am looking for advice. My Laser is a 2004 Australian one.
1/ is it ok to reuse the old plugs and collars or are there advantages in using new.
2/ when inverting sections do I leave in same plane so the back of the mast is still the back, or rotate 180 degrees so what was back is now front, or do I rotate 90 degrees so front & back are now at the sides.
3/ Do I need to plug the old rivet holes and if so do I use rivets, silicone, epoxy, anything else.
I will most likely use Monel rivets or should I use Stainless Steel or Aluminium.
