Maintenance/Repair Details:
Removed mast as showing signs of wood rot once again. Completly removed previous replacement mast spine and treated the inner wood with wet wood rot presevative. Made a new spine using sapelee wooden blocks and glued in place with Gorilla filler glue. Once set and hard sanded down and reshaped the mast spine.

While doing the above the top of the mast, above the cross tree broke off. This was screwed and glued back into place using the former glue.
