The prior owner of my 26S apparently let the mast go to one side or the other as it was being raised. This elongated the hole (quite a bit) where the base of the mast bolts to the brackets on the top of the cabin.
** Can someone please measure their mast from the bottom of the mast to the center of the 3/8" hole for the bolt?
I intend to use a 1/8" marine grade aluminum to form to doubler plates for each side and bolt them on or I may make a sleeve. I will then drill the hole in the correct place based on the measure you folks provide. I don't want to weld on the mast as it is just too thin to try.
