.......^^...excellent work Marino, I'm sure it wasn't easy but thanks for showing it can be done!
...it looks like I'm shipping off a Viper mast,, wondering how much, where to shorten the mast?
I assume most all of the cut is at the bottom.. post 7 mentions removing 6-10'' for keel stepped at bunk height,, can someone confirm??
It'll be great to reduce length as much as possible before taking it across the border on my minivan
. ....or maybe I'll use some of that monster sleeve and make a 2 piece mast!
