Re: Penobscot 14 St Jacques New Build
Thanks for the info, Rowandsail. That sort of issue with small open boats is another reason why I like solid top CB cases, with a large cork in a hole big enough to take the handle of the boat hook for shoving the CB down if / when it gets jammed with weed, mud or gravel. And building the mast a bit tall is always an excellent idea, as it also gives you the option to raise the whole rig temporarily in light air if you use a gaff-jaw boom.
