I'm glad it worked out. Somebody went to a lot of trouble to rivet and tap the
mast for screws. I'd like to see inside that mast.

Thanks everyone! We were able to remove the mast today without a hitch. The
screws at the bottom weren’t screwed into anything, however I can see that if
we had a certain type of mast shoe they could be used to secure the mast.
Thanks so much!

Wow! Those three screwsat the bottom of the mast hold something. Maybe a plug
or maybe some component bolted through the mast step? If you don't get a better
answer, I'd remove them before the crane starts pulling the mast. Once the mast
is up a bit, you'll see what's involved there and know
It looks to me like those screws in the mast may hold the mast to the step as
required by IYRU ( or whatever they're calling themselves today) for offshore
racing. I would definitely remove the screws. I can’t think of a downside if
I’m wrong, and you certainly don’t want to try getting the
That should be an aluminum shoe that stays on the mast

Just to be more specific I mean the metal
I see the screws in the side of the mast. Your mast step may extend up
into the base of the mast and is held by those screws. Is there access to
those screws on the other side of the mast?
If you remove only the 4 hex heads that hold the step plate down the
question becomes will the step plate
ould be free to slide out.
