Mike et al:
Simple answer.....NO....can't be done with the mast up. Several
problems doing it with the mast up.....the most difficult one is getting
the cap shroud in its tang and then screw the tang into the tie bar
inside the mast.....the shroud and the tang have to rotate as one. I
say this as I assume Steve's rig assembles like mine.
Steve, did you rotate the tang and shroud as one to remove it from the mast?

Can you not put it up and rig a halyard to the toerail on the affected
side? Then when new rod comes you could go up in a bosuns chair to
attach it.
Might be a bit tricky around the spreader end but I cannot see why it
could not be done if you didn’t want to incur more launch costs with
cranes. Another option is to lay the mast on top of boat and launch
that way and then use a spar crane at one of the local clubs to step
the mast.

The word from Navtec is "replace", which doesn't surprise me. I don't
see that they have much incentive to tell me to sail with it as is,
from both a liability perspective as well as a sales perspective. Oh
well, our short sailing season just got shorter :(
it's going to be about two weeks before I can get the stick up again.
And then I'm not sure where I'll be putting it up. We had an agreement
for this Friday for me and a few other boats from our small club to
use one of the larger club's cranes. I'm missing out on that party so
it looks like I'll be going to one of the sketchy port guys down on
Cherry Street. I've had experiences with one of those guys and it was
terrible, so I guess I'll try the other guy. Unless any Toronto
listers have other suggestions?
Thanks,

I would file/grind/buff down the suspected crack to see what it is. At
worst the
end is defective and you are sure. I doubt taking 1/64" or less off
will make a

crack and the
die does not show up you should be good.
From your original photo #3 you might try in the middle of the flat part.

Rob was by yesterday, bless him for coming out at 7:00pm on short
notice ..
then putting up with my rowing into the wind and chop. He's a good sport.
Did the dye test .. jury is out. He's going to Navtec with the
pictures and
I should know by today. If I had more time I would replace it on
principle
but I've got crane time booked on Friday with no idea when the next
opportunity might be, more than likely I'de be paying to have it done
later
in the season. The lost time is more of a concern than the spent
money. So,
if the rig needs fixing then I'm out for a couple of weeks at least.
If not
.. then the mast goes up on Friday just in time for our long weekend! If
the best case scenario pans out I'll be making plans starting now to have
the eye dealt with in the fall, as well as one seized tie bar, otherwise
the rig is sound. I was hoping to spend boat bucks on a new cabin sole
and
running rigging this year. We shall see.
Cheers,
