Hello,
I am interested if anyone has knowledge of where I could purchase or have made this folding mast bracket? I'm hoping the pic works. Rookie here on the board.
Look at mast sections, Find one that is like your mast, Then once you open it the tabernacle options are there.
Using one of these would require you to screw (tap and thread) through the mast section into the aluminum mast base; Then you’d buy another base and through bolt that on the bottom of the mating part and tap and screw the bottom section into that.
The concept doesn’t require a large amount of strength since the mast is under compression. It just has to not move.
Is this to collapse under a roof? It may have to be more substantial for dinghy lifting.
