[quote=TurboCat][quote=andrewscott][quote]A well sealed mast acts the same as the baby bob but you can never tell when the sealant is breaking down and its time to reseal so the baby bob is a fool proof safety item. [/quote]
you can always take off the 2 shackles (stay and trap) and place your mast in the water for a few minutes to check for leaks.edited by: andrewscott, Aug 19, 2010 - 12:28 PM [/quote]
Thats what i do but a more casual type sailor may not want to do that every few months or they may not remember to do it. Either way you look at it its a extra level of protection to going turtle. We often sail 10-15 miles offshore on any given weekend and when your that far out the look of the baby bob isnt on your mind...You will enjoy the feeling of protection it gives you.
We put our mast in the pool and use it like a pool noodle![/quote]
