Hi all,

Ive got an 88 H16 thats got a bit of wear in the mast step and base, the mast rotation stops are a bit rounded over on both the cup and base. Ive heard getting more rotation will give you more flex and hence more mast and sail shaping ability, but how much is too much? My mast doesnt rotate past around 80 degrees or so but Im wondering is it time to replace one or both?

Thanks all and happy sailing!

Blair :)
