Re: [Cal_Boats] Cal 33-2--Mystery Cut-outs in ISOMAT NG51 Mast

I haven't been up there in a while, and you would have probably noticed this but IIRC the upper shrouds penetrate the mast and are attached inside the mast to a part of the masthead fitting. Are these perhaps the holes you are talking about?

Al, Thanks, I did not think about the upper shrouds penetrating the mast. These have to be those holes.
