Just acquired a Javelin, in fairly good condition but with an unusual mast knee/step. Looks like someone cut approximately 24 inches off the bottom of the mast and installed a 2-pin mast step between the sections. This apparently was to allow for lowering above deck level. The prolem is, the lower section does not anchor to anything and it moves about in the cut-out in the plywood sole of the cuddy. Any ideas if this was a factory option, or how it was supposted to work? May have to get creative, but would prefer to stay original, if possible. Year unknown, serial 26126.
