I replaced the
mast step in Bacardi with the help of Andrew Roake who was ship right at Yamba Marina. I did a
Google search and he is now in
Queensland. Tambourine.
Bacardi was the first Cole 43 the mast step was a cast aluminium block mounted on a
steel frame. The whole structure was corroded and had to be replaced. It was complicated because lead ballast had been poured over th
steel frame.
I spent several days on my knees with an angle grinder and chisel removing the lead and through bolts that secured the frame to the Timbers.
Andrew constructed a new frame in stainless.
We also had to trim some off the bottom of the mast because of
corrosion.
If you are in
Queensland Andrew may be able to help.
