[Public-List] MAST SUPPORT BEAM

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

Hello Chip,

Ours is good and I've not heard of a liner boat having difficulty in this
area.  What I have heard of is water degrading the balsa core in the area
under the mast step.  Ours seems good in that area so far...

My new beam is made from
