Well the stainless t-bolts arrived today in the mail. The diameter of the T was a tad wider then I thought. Maybe like 1/32 so I threaded a bolt inside it and ran it along a file to get it so it fit.

Then about 15-20 mins at the drill press and wham! Theoretically sea worthy.

And here it is with the mast base attached.

Going to add some foam to that giant base washer to eliminate that about 2" gap. But we'll see how she does lol.

Congratulations Derik on resurrecting a "dead" windsurfer.

If it existed
A backyard garage shed tinker Professor-ship would be awarded.

Very nice . I hope it's secure.
