[Rhodes22-list] Stan .... got mast stubs? how much?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Mike,
I wouldn't move the mast car, probably just used a fixed bolt. 
Wouldn't mind drilling holes in the mast stub but we have used 
something wooden in the past.

There is nothing as nice as keeping a boat indoors in our northern 
winters. We used to keep the Com-Pac 16 in the garage - the car lived 
outdoors. It was wonderful and really reduced the wear and tear on 
the boat. The only thing to worry about was critters getting in.

Too many places for water to go during thaw freeze cycles with the 
boat out in the open uncovered.  We've posted our winter cover before.

best,
Mary Lou
