Tanzer 16 Hinged Mast Retrofit and a Name

Tanzer 16 Hinged Mast Retrofit and a Name  --  February 25, 2015  Since this is the second time the hinge has been installed into the king post we were able to use what we learned the first time.  The plug tends to squirm around when you try to put the screws through the aluminum tube (formerly a two-foot section of mast) into the oak plug.  This time it was epoxied in place.  The screws will go in tomorrow.  I made a special jig to help with fore-aft alignment.  But, in the end, a tight string and an eyeball did the best job.

In the afternoon crew Tony came over, and with the help of a little beer, we attached the name graphics to the sides.
