She's probably correct Bob... it sounds like she knows her wood and testing
the fine edge of the wedge would clearly indicate the condition of the wood
inside. [especially indicative of partial rot on the interior] If she thinks
they could be partially rotted inside ... she must be right and no matter if
they look sound right now ... I'd suggest you replace them immediately.
Failure might lead to a collapse of the standing rigging and at the very
least your mast will wobble when you sail.

It's not often you get a free inspection dockside by someone with
credentials in wood like being a J24 Racer. Take advantage of this timely
advise.... please.

f she thinks

Got some e-mails from the C&C folk about this. It's probably a good idea to
change wood wedges from time to time. In the case of Alien, said wedges are at
least 10 years old. Sounds like she was right and you're wrong.
Again.

Poor, poor mooron!

What a goof ball... Yeah Bob... the wedges are rotted... sure.! ... yet you
said they were fine when you inserted them way back when... .

Sure you'd change them from time to time... compression of the wedges to a
point they have to be driven in to far Bob!
Rot... ha ha ha...

The mast was stepped for less than two hours, went right back up. Why the
interest?

RB

Stepped for less than two hours. Bwahahahahahahaah!

I see the old memory has not deteriorated!

Nope... you said it all right
Posted about it during your pre-launch check up report. Matter of fact you
specifically referred to them.

It's not often you get a free inspection dockside by someone with
credentials in wood like being a J24 Racer.

And J30, J35 racer and capable of rebuilding the diesel engine in her father's
Pearson Wanderer.

Real women can sail, Mooron. Even Suzanne is learning fast and loving it. Last
night she essentially singlehanded the boat for the 1st hour of the sail,
leaving slip, setting sail and so on.
Sorry you can't manage the same.
As for my ex-girlfriend, she did indeed rebuild her fathers Wanderer engine.
Such women do exist if you have the character to attract them.
