Hi, not sure how else to put it, but I don't have a good feeling about these starboard wedges - they're just relaying the force exerted by the mast to the deck without absorbing the vibrations. Of course, the opposite side argument is that if the wedges are too soft, the mast is subjected to greater pressures.
BTW, not sure if Brion has a preference, but I know some riggers recommend spartite. It's expensive and not easy to install by yourself, but if properly installed, it's deemed by many to be the ultimate solution.
Best regards,
Gleb
