Seven20 Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) I do not want to have a fairing block for bulkhead install. Any suggestions? I am considering Plastimo because of the tilted bulkhead option (10 - 25 degree), but there is not much information available on that option. They also offer a mast mounted version.

Sbinzer Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Go the mast mount route, unless you need to fill an existing hole. In the bulkhead, will only have view on one tack, crew will often be in the way. Mast mounts places it in the drivers scan line, of jib luff, and horizon. At the mast, driver and middle crew can easily reference it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
