Thanks everyone for replying to I question about stepping a free standing mast. I found the mast wedges & rain boot I was needing at:
Spars, Rigging, and Hardware for Sailboats
Rig-Rite, Inc.63 Centerville Road, Warwick, RI 02886 USAPhone: (001) 401-739-1140 – FAX: (001) 401-739-1149www.RigRite.com Ordering/Questions
Mast Wedges
Urethane Mast Collar for 5 3/8" OD Round Mast: PP-F25572MC:Special molded Urethane Mast Collar/Wedge for 5 3/8" OD Round Mast. Round Mast Collar is 6 5/8" OD x 5 3/8" ID x 2 3/8" high and fits between the Mast and the Deck Collar. One piece molded construction means that Mast Collar must be put on the Mast before it is stepped. As used on Freedom 21. *** Special Round Mast Boot to fit Freedom 21 (PP-F25443MB) is available. Hard molded black Mast Boot fits 9" OD Round Deck Collar, and is 2 1/2" high x 5 1/2" ID.
on a sad note, I found out over the weekend that my 6-71 Detroit diesel engine that powers my 16 passenger 33’ personnel boat needs a total rebuild. So I will be forces into selling Freedom 21 as a motivated seller. I have the use of a fine trailer that fits like a glove and can be used to relocate this boat if needed. If anyone is interested please contact me for the detail & pic’s.
Thanks again for everyone help,
