PBzeer -- perfect reply in 8 minutes. That can't be beat. Is there a footing there that gets bolted down first, and then the mast gets bolted to it?
Cam -- Not sure how you got tension with that setup. Was the mast forced up against the transome so it had to flex? Or maybe it was forced againt the edge of the bracket on the transom, Thanks, since I never heard anything about having it under tension before.
I was thinking about using a thick enough mast so that it could be self standing. It would involve having it go through the top of the boat and then attaching it to the inside of the hull. Not sure though, it would take more research.
