peterpre Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have busteda couple of these lately (stepping the mast on my own) and have exhausted the Australian supply of these. Anyone got a H18 mast hinge for sale? Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsi1234 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hey Peter, i made a which set up that does the lifting for me now. I can have the hole thing set up to sail in about 30 minutes no rush. Can you not do the same thing. And could you tell me how it actually broke and where did the mast go. Did you just brake the Rivets. Cheers Mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpre Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi Pepsi. When I broke the latest one I was testing a gin-pole winching system. The mast began to rise nicely, then my port makeshift sidestay slipped a bit, the horizontal mast swang to stbd and "click", the tongue on the hinge (thru which the hinge pin passes) snapped clean off. It is weak cast ally, and has no strength of its own, so will always snap off when subjected to such lateral force. The mast jumped forward and crashed onto the rudders & tramp... Any chance I could see a pics or a plan of your winch system. It sounds good. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
