So I'm going to relaunch shortly after some 19 months out. However, I've a small concern, which is:
The mast chock, between the mast partner frames has dried out and split. and now has a gap of up to 0.5cm. If I crane the mast back in and relaunch, the chock will swell and it'll be impossible to get the mast back out, or the swelling of the wood will cause the chock to force the mast partners apart.
So, should i start soaking these bits to get them to swell before I re-step the mast? The mast is wedged in with 8 wedges, but ought I soak these as well?
Any thoughts appreciated. Ta.
