In sailboating and shipbuilding<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipbuilding>, Mast Stepping is the process of raising the boat's mast. It also refers to a ceremonial occasion which occurs when the mast is stepped, towards the end of a ship's construction. The ceremony involves placing or welding one or more coins into the mast step<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_step> of a ship, and is seen as an important ceremonial occasion in a ship's construction which is thought to bring good luck.[1]<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_Stepping#cite_note-1>[2]<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_Stepping#cite_note-2>Although the coins were originally placed under the main-mast<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main-mast> of a ship, they are now generally welded under the radar mast.
