Hello! First time here, probably not the last. Just bought an O12. Haven't even brought it home. Does anyone know if the mast is supposed to be in 3 sections? I only have the lower two. The center mast section has a slight bend where it enters the lower section. I notice the sail luff has a curve to it. Is this bend there on purpose to accomodate the sail luff curve? If this is the case, is there a similar bend where the top 1/3 of the mast enters the middle 1/3? I will have to fabricate this piece, so this will be good to know. Thanks for your help. If you're going to be aroung Muskegon, MI give a call and we'll "talk boats". David.
