Hello! I recently acquired a Hunter 23, and I was taking things apart to do some maintenance, and noticed that the base of the mast had a crack in it.
I removed the old mast base, to look at it. It is not where any of the rivets are for the foot, however, it is just to the aft side of the mast. What does the group think? Is this safe to use, or am I better off seeing if I can get an extrusion made or a new mast altogether?
Also, apparently my phone pictures are too large, so I have attached a dropbox link.
thanks!
