Re: [bolger] AS-29 mast
Which of the very few AS-29's is it?
We are slowly making our way up the east coast, hoping to "close the loop" this summer in Kingston NY where we started out 3 years ago.
Where are you?

I recently inherited an AS-29 from my father. How is the mast properly
secured in the upright position?

Once the mast is upright, there is a long wooden wedge that is jammed into the space at the foot of the mast. There should be another smaller wedge bolted to the bottom of the well. Jam the long wedge into the space between the foot of the mast and the smaller wedge. Pull the long wedge up until it is vertical, then lash it to the tabernacle.
That's it.
On my boat the long wedge is a piece of white oak. It needs to be a strong, hard wood as it takes a lot of strain.
