After a long winter of mast repair, my boat finally went under wind power this weekend. I will admit I stared at the mast all day and listened to every creak that the boat made. I lost a total of 5" off the height. Total cost of the project was a few doolars shy of $600, all in materials. The pain in the butt was shortening up all the standing rigging. There was plenty of room to give with all of my sails and halyards. I plan on doing a write up on the whole repair job, but I think I might wait till the water turns to ice again.
Here are a few pictures of the mast.
