[Public-List] MAST SUPPORT BEAM

[Chip Dance via Public-List]

Has anyone ever found it necessary to replace/rebuild/reinforce the mast beam on a liner boat? Or was Whitby successful in that upgrade?

James,

I replaced mine in 2013, and I just used the existing beam to build a
laminating mold for the new beam. The existing beam came out of the boat
easily and in one piece. It wasn't that difficult in the end, should have
done this sooner.

My new beam is made from white oak, and is built a bit taller and thicker
than the original.

I've got some images up here.
