mast screws
Giacomo Bernardi
Sorry for bombarding with questions but as we approach our launch date more new things come up....
On one side of the mast, there are sets of screws, and we wonder what these are for, may be places for steps to climb up the mast? |

Perhaps someone once mounted a winch handle holder there??

There are several sets at regular intervals the entire length of the mast. This is why I thought of a ladder. But they are only on one side of the mast. Very weird. On Wed, Aug 17, 2022 at 05:02 William Huesmann via groups.io <Livnaboard=yahoo.com@groups.io> wrote:

Could be an incomplete job of mounting mast steps. Spacing could be a clue: 12” is normal, but some, like my MastMate, are 14”.
