Mast Tang installation

[Brion Toss]

Hello,
From this perspective, it seems that the important matter is not soft eyes vs. tangs, but whether or not the basic design and dimensions make any sense at all. You mention one mast that was extreme overkill, and another mast from yet another boat (always a red flag). I urge you to take a breath and look at what the boat needs here. Calculate, then fabricate.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
