[C38] Mast leak

[William Knowles]

If you are planning to pull or just lift the mast the common fix is to drill
a hole at an angle through the the base and the supporting block to drain
water into the bilge. It may be a good idea to check the wood block , mine
had rotted away and the survey did not find it we sailed for over a  year
until the cabin sole cracked. On the positive side it shows how well built
(heavy construction) these boats are.
