Mast Splice below the partners???

Hi again,
Yeah, you were already well over the "questions too short to charge for" standard that I try to use here.
Fair leads,

And for that I'm truly grateful !
Spartalk is a fantastic resource to be sure...

Actually the major questions were answered....
1. It is entirely possible to have a splice just below the partners if done correctly
2. it is NOT POSSIBLE for an extrusion to be configured as a decked stepped rig, when the boat was previously designed with the identical extrusion as a keel stepped rig... The profile isn't stiff enough...

I'll send an email to your consultation address, rigging@

Thanks so much for your help!
