Hello,

Thanks for answers !

About Spartite :
Do you pour the Spartite when the rigging is tighten or loose ?
I understand that you pour it when the rigging is loose. But isn't it better to pour it when it is loose ? Because the Spartite will solidify and then, when you will tighten the rigging, there will be compression on the Spartite collar ?

Can you easily dismast and restep the mast with this Spartite ?
Do the Spartite collar stay on the deck hole or stay on the mast when you dismast ?

Thanks !!
