Reading Booby and Mooron's latest little skirmish
it dawned on me how primitive a system it is to
still prop up a mast with wooden wedges in this
day and age when practically the entire boat is
made of GRP. Why not get rid of inferior, rot-
prone wood and use wedges made of Starboard
plastic that would last a lifetime? That's what
I'd do if I had an inferior, old-fashioned, keel-
stepped, leak prone through the coach roof
system like Booby has. Don't nurse a problem;
eliminate it instead. Anyone ever think of that?

S.Simon - can't abide inferior systems
