...and the story never ends....I have been tasked with building a replacement rig for a Mickey Finn......don't ask me how I talked myself into this....However, there were two versions of the ball and socket mast location arrangement..... mine, with the ball mounted in the hull, and the socket on the mast, and another with the opposite.
Of course, the new one I have to make is the reverse, so I cannot just build off mine as a template.
To compound matters, the "socket" in this boat doesn't appear to be a full ball socket, rather a location hole with a chamfered lead in.
The fact that it's buried in the bow hidden from view except from the hole on top makes it difficult to measure.
I'm working on it, trial and error, but it would still help if there were any rigs or masts out there that need a new home, so.......anybody got one?
Thanks in advance,
Brian.
