Fabricating New Mast Wedges

[asdf777]

Another thing to keep in mind is that if there is uneven amount of space between the mast and deck, it's going to be difficult to select wedges to keep the pressure distributed equally while keeping the mast straight.

For example, in my case, there is slightly less space on the port side, and even though the starboard wedges have a big O clamp around them to distribute the pressure, the boat is creaking more on the starboard tack, when the boat is heeling to port.

So anything that can fill in the gap uniformly while providing the necessary density will probably be a better solution. Especially if it can keep the water out. Spartite is supposed to do all of the 3...

What would the argument be against spartite besides cost?
