Risking another topic in tandem with my windlass question. Don’t think they’re easily confused, but we can try;)
When we purchased Sirius in October, the wood wedges at the deck mast hole were all low and fairly tight. Now, after a few sails and seasonal changes (not sure that matters), they have all worked upward and a few are loose. Is it important to keep these tightly wedged, and if so, how do I keep them from drifting upward? Without removing the boot, I’d like to try looping some light spectra around the top of the loose wedge, then a block at the bottom of the loop to pound it down. Feedback welcome. Found this interesting article on the merits of wood wedging: https://www.riggingdoctor.com/life-aboard/2016/2/29/wedging-the-mast-deck-partner
