Abstract

See full text

A rotatable mast system for a sailing craft wherein a lower section of the mast is mounted for rotation in upper and lower bearings fixed to the body of the sailing craft spaced along the length of the lower mast section. The upper section of the mast is removable from the lower section for purposes of servicing, repairing or replacing the upper section of the mast. The lower section of the mast remains in the sailing craft for future use and does not have to be removed while the upper mast section is removed for servicing, repair or replacement, etc. However if desired, the lower mast section may be removed by itself or with the upper section. The lower section of the mast may be made from aluminum and it also includes attachments for connecting a boom and the rigging to the lower section of the mast.
