[Public-List] Hello from Vancouver. (Somewhat) proud new owner of Antares 1967 A30.

That is a very cool mast support!
I'm very torn between replacing the beam and bracing it, if I'm replacing the beam is there anything else I should do at the same time in regards to the mast step/bolts.    
the boat builder/repair guy I work with looked at it today, and he said it looks like the mast is leaning to port slightly.  he'll be glassing in the new bulkhead for the anchor locker, and repairing the broken tabbing all around over the next week or two.

I'm wondering if I remove the beam, and loosen the rigging, how do I tell when the deck is where it should be?

Second, where should I position the jacks to raise the deck when the beam is out.

Third, how accurate do I need to be in terms of leveling the mast step, and how do I level the step/deck to correct the dip in the cabin top aft of the beam, I'm unsure if this dip is something I can get rid of since the deck looks good on top, and I'm worried that pushing it up may distort the deck if some internal repairs were done from the bottom.

If I just raise the deck, will it get close enough that I can then true it up the rest of the way with the rigging?
Can anybody recommend a good rigger in the PNW?  My rigging has to be inspected by a rigger within a year of the survey according to the survey, so I might as well kill two birds with one stone.

Where should the mast be positioned on the step, I noticed mine is pushed all the way aft.

Is there any other reason I'd need to drop my mast in the next few years, or can I leave it until I have a more amenable place to do it(it will cost me close to 1000$ at my current marina, but I can use a mast crane elsewhere for free in a year or so, and could do the mast beam properly and more easily at the same time if it's not going to fail under load in the near future, or damage the deck).


Thanks :-)

George and all,
Here is a link to images of the SS mast support I made.

I explained how I did this in an earlier email, but if there are any
questions let me know.
