[Public-List] mast support in liner boats

[Jason S via Public-List]

David,

It is alot of information to explain but I have started the repair in my
boat #457. I too have the compression aft of step which I believe is a
combination of mast step not being centered on the beam and water
intrusion.

On my blog I have been documenting the repair process, I have lots of
photos and video

I have also make a few poor quality video documenting the destruction
process on YouTube

Channel on youtube is :  Cruiser2B
