Mast exit plates

wchevron · #1 (**permalink**) 11-15-2008

i'm going to install 3 exit plates in the mast. can i install two directly across from each other. ex. 1 at 5' on port side, 1 at 5' on starboard side or should these be staggered so as not to cut out too much mast in one area. the third will go about a foot above the 5' plates.

Wchevron-

Stagger them if you can, both vertically and horizontally, so they don't line up with each other or with any other nearby cutouts in the mast. They should be staggered by about a foot if you can vertically.

do you want pictures of just the exit plates and mast or should i include some of me performing the work in my leather thong and harness.
