- Spar vs. mast. Whats the difference? | SailNet Community
The mast of a sailing vessel is a tall spar, or arrangement of spars, erected more or less vertically on the centre-line of a ship or boat Its purposes include carrying sail, spars, and derricks, and giving necessary height to a navigation light, look-out position, signal yard, control position, radio aerial or signal lamp [1]
- creating a tabernacle from a keel stepped mast
The loads, once the mast is down, are comparatively light (50-150 lbs at each support) But having the mast pivot above the deck can easily double the load on the deck and greatly increase the cost of the project by requiring the reinforcement in the deck and the lower portion of the mast (tabernacle) to be much more robust in all directions
- Deck vs. Keel Stepped Masts | SailNet Community
If the goal of designing a mast is to reduce bending moments within a mast, the greater the number of panels (segments between shrouds and other supports) the smaller the moments tend to be In the days when single spreader rigs were most common a keel-stepped mast added one extra panel, the segment between the mast partners at the deck and the

- Solo Mast Stepping System - SailNet Community
The mast will come down on that, resting at a point that is behind the center of gravity On my mast support I put a rubber roller, like those used on boat trailers, on the frame at the point where the mast would come down on it Once the mast was on it, I would disconnect the hinge at the base of the mast and walk it forward
- Mast leaning forward (new mast step) | SailNet Community
That mast is raked way, way too far forward The mast should be straight up and down (actually raked aft a little bit) and it's not even close The mast should sit on the base and not carry the weight on the pin at all The pin should just be keeping the mast step from moving fore aft
