Tabernacle

Giacomo Bernardi #28360 Quick question, how easy is it to add a tabernacle to the base of the mast? is it possible to lower and raise the mast without one but just using the long slit that allows the pin to move up and down?

gabriel warren #28361 If I read you correctly, that slot is in the tabernacle. You may be thinking of a much larger fitting with the pivot point much higher. I use the standard tabernacle for mast erection / lowering, but with a twist: I have to crowbar the mast butt forward and use ‘cheek plates’ (holes about 4” apart) to allow the butt to lift higher than the slot will allow when horizontal since I have a sea hood. As well, there are solar panels on the hood and the gooseneck fitting, permanently attached to the mast, could make quick work of them. This was illustrated in a Flicka Friends piece. The photography was not mine, so I do not have the images, otherwise I would attach. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Aug 16, 2022, at 12:25 PM, Giacomo Bernardi via groups.io <bernardi@...> wrote: Quick question, how easy is it to add a tabernacle to the base of the mast? is it possible to lower and raise the mast without one but just using the long slit that allows the pin to move up and down?

Giacomo Bernardi #28362 Okay I’ll send a picture next time I am at the boat, as I bet I am confused about the whole system. But your description fits what I thought the procedure would be. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Aug 16, 2022 at 09:36 gabriel warren <gabriel@...> wrote: If I read you correctly, that slot is in the tabernacle.

gabriel warren #28363 Giacomo— With a little digging, I found the article in Flicka Friends. It is in #66, Winter 2018 (vol 19, #1). You can google ‘Flicka Friends newsletter’ to see it. Good luck.

Giacomo Bernardi #28364 Fabulous, I am on it, thank you so much if you watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEuYL9fYTac and pause at the time: 15 seconds (yes the very beginning of the video) you can see a hinged tabernacle, which seems very different than what I have but makes complete sense to me if one wants to lower and raise the mast easily. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Aug 16, 2022 at 11:10 AM gabriel warren <gabriel@...> wrote: Giacomo— With a little digging, I found the article in Flicka Friends.
