Re: Mast Bury
Mast bury when using a tabernacle might be considered to be pivot
point to lock pin. Additional support in the tabernacle might be
arranged by more pins / crossbars, etc but then lowering / raising the
mast would take a bit longer.
Bottom support to top support in the tabernacle would be bury.
Tabernacle strength would be another ( related) matter.

I take it that a tabernacle fastened to the keel and
the mast fastened to the tabernacle would count as a

I had a very short bury in a small scow I designed. It used Bolgers
59sf LOM sail from Teal. The step was a plug glued and bolted to a
block on the bottom. A 2-inch pvc tube extends about 8 inches above
the deck to accept the mast. Sailing on a very brisk day put too mych
strain on the plug and sheered it from the block, The bolt held it
somewhat so no major damage occured. The fix was to install a proper
step which encircled the mast tube and had more glue area and
fasteners. I was concerned that the short bury would put a heavy load
on the mast at the partner, hence the tube to try to spread the load.
The leverage of the sail force against the plug sheered it. The plug
step and tube worked fine on my Teal but it has about twice the bury.

The most extreme I have noticed is Fast Motorsailer, page 324 in Boats
with an Open Mind. Bury scales to about 20" for a 19'-11" mast, or
about 8%. The mast step is on deck and the partners at the top of the
pilot house. There is a lot of area on that mast too, a 265 square
foot dipping lug.

The 10% number sounds familiar, thanks for the replies.

He almost always has the foot of the mast resting at the bottom of the
boat and the mast partner as high up as practical, at deck height, and
often up at the sheer line, or even higher with recent tendency
favoring tabernacles.
I don't know what Bolger suggests, but I think the standard figure is 10% of
the overall length minimum, which is what Jock McLeod reccomended for
unstayed junk rigged masts.
Gary
the overall length minimum, which is what Jock McLeod reccomended for
unstayed junk rigged masts.

I vaugely remember reading somewhere that Phil Bolger had a rule of
thumb for calculating the minimum mast bury for a freestanding mast.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? Thanks.
