[quote=Edchris177]You are correct. I left the bolt in as I didn't know any better. A thread a while back (I think it was Wolfman Dave/Damon)addressed the issue of how much damage could be done if you suffered a demasting with the bolt/pin in place.
I only raise mt mast once a year, & resolved to remove the bolt, but...
Thanks for the reminder, I'm going to pull it out before next sail.
On another note, those pictures of the beams you sent me. The old 500 that you sailed to death, are you interested in selling the front beam in the photo?[/quote]
