Cracks in Mast w/ Photos

[dptransom]

Brion - Thank you so much for the recommendation. Steve is a great guy and may be one of the most helpful gents that I've met on this refit adventure. In fact, he was the only guy willing to take a look in person.

He assessed the mast and suggests that I install a stainless steel "doughnut" around the compression post sleeves. Drilled to size the through-bolt and then epoxied and riveted to the mast. A different recommendation that the flanged bushing, but better than welding.

Sound reasonable?
