I did not have much success keeping hardwood wedges in place and tight on
Windburn.
Spartite is an option but after some discussions with a fellow racer that does
rigging and
a sailmaker I tested to see how much mast bend I get under normal maximum

If you have access to a bandsaw/tablesaw, it's fairly easy to make your
own wedges from a chunk of hardwood. I don't know of anyone
who has them comercially available. I milled my own a while back from a

Welcome aboard. Nice boat ;-)
I have tried a few things for the mast wedges. Last year I purchased a small

Hi,
Mast wedges - On my 29-2, there are 6 wooden wedges that go around the entire
perimeter of the mast and fit inside the collar. They are made with a lip that
