You have come so far this little set back is no big deal. I have total faith you will resolve it and have fun sailing soon. :D

Definitely looks like too much space. I think glossieblack's suggestion, or the PVC, or maybe wrapping the mast would be the best options. From the plans, the hole in the mast partner looks narrower than the step, and the step looks like it has about the same gap as in your photo. I'll ask Jacques to take a look at the thread here. Maybe he can weigh in when he gets to the next wi-fi spot.

Now that I look at that drawing again, (I tried to do a quote with the image, but it didn't work) it seems to be saying 3" to center of hole from edge of seat, not 3" diameter . . .

Now that you point that out...

Hmm... I'm going to start with the bushing idea tonight. The "rebuild" will need to be over the winter.

Jaysen, I asked Jamie to send you a PM in response to your question to me earlier today. I hope he was able to help and I know Jamie also sent an email to Jacques!! We have not heard from him (Jacques) in more than 10 days now and he should re-surface soon!! Jeff

no...called to verify photos... have to show fully rigged. That's the plan for tonight. Which will require moving the boat. Just might accidentally move her down the launch ramp. Oops!

I think I have the answer I need. Answers which basically say "LEARN TO READ A PLAN YOU MORON!"

Perfectly acceptable answer :)
