J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Changing mast foot blocks

also doing the tie blocks on an old J24.

if you have unlimited budget and can buy just the right block for the right place,

and you are sure where the right place is as you develop just what is right for your personal sailing program which isn't ever going to change ...

you can go direct to mast.

Hello,

I am still thinking of this...

I would like a mast base plate, where I can put a lot of blocks.

On RigRite website, I found this :

Low Profile Deck Collar Assembly for 4060: K-10858:
Low-profile 4060 Deck Collar Assembly, for keel stepped masts. Deck Collar Rings are bolted together (with Deck in between), using (8) 5/16" bolts and nuts. Mast Support Tabs bolt through Collar Rings, 3/8" bolt is later installed through Mast and Support Tabs preventing the deck from rising under rigging loads. Base size is (maximum) 8 3/4" long x 6 3/4" wide x 3/4" high. Kit includes (2) K-10923 Low-profile 4060 Deck Collar Rings, (2) K-10931 Mast Support Tabs, (1) 3/8" x 5" bolt with locknut, and the K-77509-18.5 rubber Mast Wedge. Original Assemblies used the K-10694 Urethane Mast Collar (no longer available), as shown, which mounted between deck and upper Deck Collar Ring, requiring removal of Deck Collar Rings when unstepping the mast.

Do you think that it is possible to put blocks on this RigRite part ?
Or maybe put a mast base plate (like this one of pridemarine) on the RigRite part ?

Does anyone know the price of this rigrite part ? I can't find it anywhere and I can't ever find an email adress to ask them !??

Thanks !

Marie
