Over the weekend I made a huge rookie mistake when checking a chain plate on the port side I did not secure the mast and had it fall over the starboard side.:cussing:
So the mast did not bend but did blow through the one of the drill holes for the step up (at the base of the mast) and also the step up plate was bent out of recognition. So I need to buy a new step up the question is what to do with the broken mast/drill hole???
Should I cut the mast and re-drill or should I sleeve reinforce the mast base?
Thank you for your honest advice!
