Aloha, I have a custom 25' Trimaran here in Hawaii that I recently purchased to fully refit. Recently, I de-stepped the mast to replace electrical, halyards and rigging, but inside the mast step I found about 1" of electrolysis corrosion in the mast base. Now, the rest of the mast seems to be in good shape, save for the masthead, so I am less interested in replacing then fixing. Is cutting 2" off the bottom of the mast section a good idea? Would the standing rigging change correspond accordingly, 2"? Would it be wiser to fit the mast step with a sort of sleeve that slips over the base and provides support? Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Aloha.
