[quote=tarch][quote=johnoau][quote=shortyfox][quote]It has a white ball on top of the middle of front beam - is that the captive system people talk about? If so, I guess that is a modification done after manufacture right.[/quote]

Not sure about one as old as yours but all the Nacras I've seen use a nylon ball for the mast to rotate on. When it starts to flatten out on top, replace it. It's threaded, don't overtighten! A pin holds the mast step captive to the ball and the mast must always be turned ninety degrees when raising or lowering.

And remember, only have the pin in when raising or lowering the mast. When sailing the pin should be removed.[/quote]
Didn't know that but once you said it, it makes sense!
