You should consider hanging up your shrouds before your family finds it
necessary to put you in a shroud of a different kind. It seems like just
about every time you go out in that boat, something significant fails on
you. It seems more than an aging boat, too...it seems like a boat on
which maintenance is ignored until something significant happens or is
discovered.

Were you not about to send your daughter and her boyfriend out to the
Bahamas in that boat? It would have been interesting for them if the
mast carrying full sails had collapsed and fallen into the water.

I have thoroughly checked it and there was no danger of it falling
down. It is about what you would expect on a 29 year old boat. I
have been looking for this problem every time I look over the boat
because she is so old but it simply did not really show up till now.
It seems the culprit is a leaking stanchion base. All other shrouds
seem good based on poking with an ice pick around them.
Given the crappy weather over the next couple days, I plan to go buy
some tools and fix it. Get a sabre saw and cut out the rot and fit a
new piece of 3/4" marine ply backed with oversized 1/4" ply epoxied
over it on both sides.
This is a classic problem on older boats so I expected it to happen
eventually.

Harry, it is so much fun to "snerk" with you, when are you coming back
