    Mast rivet size

    Just got to my club and checked it. There isn't play. It just wiggles every so slightly, but nothing that would give me concern

    Mast rivet size

    So, everyone kept pushing me to use stainless here, but my understanding is that aluminum corrodes terribly when in contact with stainless. Now I'm back to my thought of drilling them all out and starting over with aluminum.

    Mast rivet size

    I went with the suggestion of a single rivet instead of two. The collar now has a little bit of play in it (moves a millimeter or two up and down) on the side opposite the rivet. Is this normal? I am assuming the pressure from the sail and the downhaul will keep things compressed. Jeffrey

    Mast rivet size

    End for ending the top section. Was jumping on here to start correcting everyone talking about the gooseneck but you beat me to it. I had thought I mentioned the collar on here, but now i see that was on a different site.

    Mast rivet size

    Was ordering some parts today and the recommended is 3/16" x 1/4". I understand extra spread for grip, but is it overkill? I only ask because I can get 3/16 x 1/4 stainless easy where as x 1/2 is a pain. I won't be going out in 20+ knots due to the age of the boat

    Mast rivet size

    I tend to use aluminum. Any coating I need for that? (Don't think so, the mast itself is aluminum)

    Black material inside of laser behind cockpit

    Yeah, thinking its time to cut a few ports in for easier air-drying and checking the woodwork

    Black material inside of laser behind cockpit

    Yes, I'm sure that is what it is. Not used to seeing the flotation bagged like that. Does it look damp to you or is that just some sealant on the bag?

    Black material inside of laser behind cockpit

    Yes, the subject sounds weird, but I can't describe it. Put an endoscopic camera into the hull drain to check the inside of my '73 for standing water. Ran into a black matrial that looks a bit "squishy" (real technical terms, I know) right behind the cockpit and was curious if this is standard...
