Today I completed the new mizzen mast compression post. The original had a complicated arrangement to allow you to walk from one side of the cabin to the other underneath the mizzen. This was necessary because the original layout had one huge aft cabin. In my opinion the cabin was too big for ocean passages. Too much room to be thrown about in.
I have opted for two aft cabins and decided to redo the compression post with a single steel tube (75mm outside) extending down to a heavy plate in the bilge which takes the mast loads out to two main ribs.
