I thought I’d share this in case anyone has an interest. On my
42 Custom, I’ve been monitoring a small separation at the front end of the keel
where it mates with the boat. I may have mentioned this previously, but my
boat has two “C&C smiles.” For whatever reason
I'm glad it worked out. Somebody went to a lot of trouble to rivet and tap the
mast for screws. I'd like to see inside that mast.

Thanks everyone! We were able to remove the mast today without a hitch. The
screws at the bottom weren’t screwed into anything, however I can see that if
we had a certain type of mast shoe they could be used to secure the mast.

Wow! Those three screwsat the bottom of the mast hold something. Maybe a plug
or maybe some component bolted through the mast step? If you don't get a better
answer, I'd remove them before the crane starts pulling the mast. Once the mast
is up a bit, you'll see what's involved there and know bet
It looks to me like those screws in the mast may hold the mast to the step as
required by IYRU ( or whatever they're calling themselves today) for offshore
racing. I would definitely remove the screws. I can’t think of a downside if
I’m wrong, and you certainly don’t want to try getting the step
That should be an aluminum shoe that stays on the mast

Ok Guys,
I've had the mast pulled for a complete refit and to the best of my ability
to observe, it appears that the step has never been removed. It looks
terrible and horribly corroded. It is aluminum and I'm not sure that the
30 years of corrosion has necessarily compromised the beam but since

Have to take a break from all this for a week or so due to real life and the

Be very careful before changing anything with the original geometry.
There are a lot of factors involved. The height of the maststep will
affect the height at the partners (deck) and every stay, not just the
