Thanks Peter,
    It would never have occurred to me to go for that bolt.  By any chance, do you recall if there are any little bits that will fall into the mast when I pull that?  Was it any trouble getting it back together?  I’m running late getting my boat in the water this season and I don’t need any surprises.  I wished I’d asked about this two weeks ago

Peter
