Hi All,
Some pics of masts being unstepped. Time now for a refurbish before stepping them back in.
Great series of shots. Certain your masts will be great when you are done. Did you ever manage to replace your center board?

No haven’t replaced the centreboard yet, the boat will be on the stand for the next 6 months getting a birthday. So during this period it will happen. Will try to get as many pics of jobs as they happen to post on here.
Pictures will be great! Were you able to get any design drawings or construction specs on the board? Seem like some were cast iron, some were balasted, and some were just fiberglass.
At some point before we sail off we will try and remove our centerboard to do an inspection on the pivot bolt and such. I can see that it appears to be accessible from the starboard side of the hull so I am assuming that if I grind off the bottom paint and some glass on the outside I will find where to remove it. Not sure if there are bushings both in the hull and in the board or what. In any case, it is a project!
