This is an early shot of the same system from the forward starboard quarter, showing the starboard mast electric wire again, and if you use your imagination a portion of the similar port side electrical wire, and this time a block that runs the downhaul back to the cockpit through a deck organizer block. Here you can clearly see the forward radiused edge of the mast base block. Slick looking Garhauer light block isn't it?
There is only a single mast base plate here. There is not double plate. The mast rests directly on the permanently mounted SS plate. Again my brightly polished SS flange device has no relationship to the tabernacle.
