This video is about joining two mast pieces. The process of a mast repair involves cutting the mating surfaces perpendicular to the mast length, cutting insert pieces, and fastening them to the inside of the mast on both sections to be joined.There are several ways to go about this , I found this way to be the best approach. This project was made possible with the consultation and advice from many bright minds and highly experienced people:
My Nasa engineering friends and advisors Rick Anderson and Jim Wiltse, Valiant Yachts Fred Herridge, Rigging pros Thomas Wholgemuth and local Pro Rigging expert Dennis Reason of Riverview Rigging in Cocoa. Many thanks to you!! Also thanks to my wife Susie who helped during the actual job.
The mast section was provided by Brett Baer, many thanks!!
