Sailing on Shelter Bay
I have a metal thingamabob near the bottom of my mast I do not understand. It is like a bent metal bolt (about 1/4" dia and a few inches long) that screws into the mast butt. There are several set screws holding the butt to the mast so that isn't the purpose. My jib sheet has caught on it and I am going to remove it unless someone can tell me there is some purpose for it. Thanks for what ever help, jim
