Silly mast base question

[CupOTea]

The thinner part of the mast base faces bow or stern???

[bill@ariel231]

install the mast step with the thin part aft (the ariel and commander cabins taper to the bow .... this will make the mast step level fore-aft when installed)

good luck

told you it was a silly question - finally finishing the restoration of CupOTea and after all that work I put that thing on there and it just didn't look right. Thanks, Bill.

Sure thing - I tried to take some the other day but the camera's acting up.
