chrome moly steel might be good, light and rigid
I will be refitting the boat over the next two years
And hope to spend some months each winter living aboard in the caribbean once i retire
maybe the beam could be temporalily relocated if we were at anchor for a week or two , no sailing , then when it was time to move ,re - insert the direct connected compression post.
wonder what the stress is on that compression post between: no sails no wind and full sails with 30 knots wind ?
thanks
peter
