Penguin DM-1 Aluminum Mast Taper : I suppose I am cutting a straight sided V from the mast, centered on the front of the spar, to create this taper. The width of centerline will be 1-3/8". This taper is going to run 8' down to end in a point, which will have a 1/8" radius...then I suppose I will bend the sides in (almost 25*!) right at the aft mast 'wall' to close this V... and weld it? Ta-da

Hope this is right- speak up if you can, and will!

I am off to Florida to pull the rigs from a little ketch, so circular saw day is probably not till Thursday...of course that's also the first day of Boat Show

Too many fun things to do.

Thanks guys
