[Alberg30] mast compression

[Ian MacIntosh]

Hello, I have a sagging deck where the mast is stepped. I have a steel frame 
which has been installed under the beam that is glassed under the deck. the 
frame is 2 feet wide and rests on a wooden beam that is wedged in the hull 
at the level of the cabin sole. I think I can shim the deck up using the 
existing frame, but I am concerned about where the weight is being 
transfered to. Should the steel frame transfer teh weight to the keel? I 
would appreciate any ideas, thanks
Ian
