[Public-List] Mast beam.

That would be Tim Lackey of Northern Yacht Restoration in Whitefield, ME. He did a lot of work on my Blue Teal #284, although not on the mast beam. Yes, his work is superb, as is his documentation.

Here are the logs in case anyone is interested:

A fellow named Tim from Whitefield, ME has replaced wooden mast beams for several years now on Tritons and many other boats. Excellent shipwright Tim is. I spoke with the late Gougeon Brother who said G-flex 30 would be the best Epoxy to use on a laminated mast beam. This is what I plan to use. I know the aluminum plates work but are butt ugly.  I thought of laminating wood veneer onto them but decided just to make the beam out of wood or relaminate my original beam. My two cents is that the mast beam is part of the "furniture" of the boat and I would like to keep it that way. Albeit a structural piece of "furniture".
