I have a 1983 Rhodes 22 and have encountered cracking at the base of the
mast. See the attached photo. My best guess is that the wood underneath is
likely wet and rotten and was no longer able to hold the weight and the deck
couldn't stand the weight and cracked. I imagine that I'll cut out the
damaged area and repair with fiberglass and epoxy then screw in the mast
stay screws. Anyone else experience this problem? Do I have the right plan
to repair? I took the mast down last weekend and want to get it back in
shape quickly as this is typically a great time to sail in Annapolis. Any
advice is appreciated.
