[Rhodes22-list] Mast Crutch

[Steve Alm]

John,
I wish I had a better picture of my mast crutch for you--this one 
doesn't show too much detail--but this is the GB design for lowering 
the mast to the stern.  At the bottom, the two aluminum tubes are 
attached to plastic (plywood could be used) pieces that are notched to 
fit over the transom.  The transom bears the weight--not the rail.  
There is a horizontal piece of the same material with a cutout that 
fits over the stern rail and stern light.  This adds stability.  Then 
there are two lines coming down from the top that tie to the stern 
cleats which add even more stability.  If I get a chance, I'll take 
more pixs and post them.

Hope this helps,
Slim
