Stub mast retainer

(Gonna try to post this again. Yesterday's post got screwed up by our funky email system)

Slowly putting together pictures of little tidbits I've done on Shan Skailyn here and there.

This is the mechanism I made to keep the stub mast in place in case of capsize. It's just a little stainless steel tongue. Only way to remove the stub mast is by depressing the tongue prior to sliding out of the step. The other picture is the deck level mast steps. One for the stub mast (with leather collar just to keep the mast from knocking around) and below it, the universal joint (where the luff spar will sit). Everything seems to fit and hold really well.
