Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount - update
Thanks Ken! I used black starboard. 1" thick. 12"x12" pieces are available from McMaster-Carr for about $35. Knowing that ultimately my starting size would need to be roughly 5"x5"x2", I decided that a 12"x12"x1" piece was going to be the smallest usable and available size. https://www.mcmaster.com/#9785T412 I started by cutting 5 pieces 6"x2" and stacked then together for a total of 5x6x2. I clamped them, applied masking tape, and traced the chock. For ease of managing them in the saw I cut the tape so that each layer could be separated. Used the saw to cut each piece a bit proud of the trace. I then reassembled (re-stacked) and finished the sides on the drum sander. I now had a 2" thick block that followed the footprint of the chock. I carefully marked centerline before separating each layer again. This time I masked each layer on it's "inside" face - the face which originally measured 6"x2". On this face I carefully measured and traced the template of the curvature of the mast on to the tape. I then returned to the bandsaw and cutout the curvature of the mast, again proud of the template. Now back to the sander. I started with the largest piece and was careful to regularly check the fit to my template. Once I had the first one done, each of the successive pieces was checked to the template and to its neighbors so that a smooth and even fit was accomplished. A feather edge of flashing was left after all of this sanding so I re-clamped and assembled the pieces and used the sander to dress everything up.

Good call. I considered that but the location of the chock is so close to the bottom and the contour is from the bottom. I don't know exactly how much it is tapered but its not extreme.

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount
If you have a tapered mast on a 37R, or 37 XL it only seems to taper above the upper spreader. Offshore Spar built those masts. I'm not sure if the 37+ mast was tapered at all, and I don't know who built those masts. Ken H.

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount
A carpenters trick is to; - place the teak against the mast - gauge the widest gap between the teak and the mast (outer edge) - wrap tape around a pencil same amount as gap (This will give you the widest point) - hold teak against mast, and trace the pencil (with tape) along the mast starting from widest point to the other end of the piece of teak. - this results in the exact curvature you need. - sand / cut (drum sander or otherwise) Contour gage works just as well, but if you don’t have one, and don’t plan to use it often, the above saves some money. /J > On Feb 9, 2018, at 9:18 PM, Dennis C. wrote: > > Tape a piece of 60 grit sandpaper to the mast.

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount
I'm on board with your thoughts Dennis and Joel. Some complications are that the depth of the concave curvature to accommodate the mast is 1-5/8ths which is a lot of sanding. Furthermore the maximum available thickness for starboard is 1" so some sort of stacking will be needed.

Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount
Ok Guys, I've been test fitting the whisker pole and track extensions to the mast while it is pulled. I need an extra section of track to get the inboard end of the pole high enough so that I can stow the pole on the mast. I'm pretty much all set but I'm down to the chock which will hold the outboard end of the pole. The chock has a flat base and needs to be mounted on the curved leading edge of the mast. I'm interested in the collective wisdom as to how to handle this situation. Thanks, Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated.
