Yup - sure can. They are an ingenious way to ensure good ventilation below. The mast acts like a chimney especially on not days. The holes suck out cabin air and it exits at the mast head. Air gets in to the cabin through the main cabin hatch and engine vents. Never had a problem with musty air below decks

Can someone clarify what the holes are for? Thanks- Dave Aries 1990 C&C 34+ New London, CT Begin forwarded message: From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: C&C question Date: June 9, 2014 at 4:27:21 PM EDT To: "F5, David" <[email protected]> Hi Dave, I've looked at 3 C&Cs now, and each of them has a number (6 or 8) of 1/4" holes drilled in the mast section just below the mast boot in the cabin, port side only. The first time I saw this, I was concerned about the strength of the section. After seeing three, however, I believe there must be a good reason for the holes. Is it a way to control humidity within the section? Is there another reason? Is it something I should be concerned about? Thanks, John --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
