Yours wasn't emailed to me for some reason. <br /><br />The sag is quite obvious from the outside of the boat. If you look at the mast beam across the cabin roof, the top edge should be at the very least a straight line. Mine dips in the middle and it's so extreme water pools on the middle of the cabin roof. In some cases the gel coat starts to wrinkle around the mast step. Mine has done both.<br /><br />As for raising and lowering the mast, I've never done it before. But I'm sure I'll figure out a way of doing it when the time comes. <br /><br /><br />Mark The Skint Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892877003107509621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034021522087099008.post-40115356117417474072019-03-14T13:43:15.727+00:002019-03-14T13:43:15.727+00:00Hi Mark, just catching up with your blog and have ...Hi Mark, just catching up with your blog and have a couple of questions. How can you tell that the roof is starting to sag? I know it can be a problem with Sea Wychs, I've see one with a very nice prop installed which has a table around it that slides down to form part of the fore berth. Also do you have a way to lower and raise the mast on your own?<br /><br />Cheers, Alan. (Sea Wych in Fareham) Arfcollinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414385663266727558noreply@blogger.com
