So, the "AnnaLise" has been in storage (dry) WAY to long (3-4 years before I got her); got her clean and shiny, resealed and re-bedded the windows, and the rubrail (water leaks); re-did the crib boards; swaged some shrouds; and thought, "Hmmmmmm, lets step the Mast, see what shape its in......"
Not so good, the "Tabernacle", or Mast plate, that funny piece of metal with holes and wings that the Mast fits into, lifted up,
the bolts just pulled through, didn't even get the mast 1/4 of the way up, so here's the big question: How do I fix that? Do I just need a bigger lag screw, re-locate the plate a bit? Doesn't seem like the wood is bad underneath, rather that it's been pulled up before. Would have like to have known that!
