Butt joint Mast?
Rosalie B. wrote: Most of our masts were either 56 feet or 65 feet above the waterline, and they were keel stepped so you need to add another 7 feet or so onto that. Boy, do you have a deep bilge. What the heck do you draw if the keel starts 7 feet under water??? FWIW, my "keel stepped" mast is actually on a steel I-beam, supported by another fiberglassed huge wood beam and web supports to the side. The base of the mast is probably 2' below the waterline or so, there's a 33" depth reach to the bottom, which I expect is where the keel (ballast) actually is, and however big the keel (ballast encapsulated) actually is makes up our depth which I expect when we splash will be about 6-6.
