I am sure everyone knows about the Compression post problem on some Hunters where the wires went down the wood post from a hole in deck plate that the mast is secured. Here is a picture of the post removed on my project boat. I can not believe that nothing held the wood post on except the pressure of the top deck and floor compressed by the rigging. Anyone with a boat like this needs to check the post before sailing off on a nice windy day.
