Our first attempt at installing ducting in the mizzen mast for the antenna cables has failed :-( Time to try a different approach. What do you think?
Both our AIS and WiFi Boost Antennas come from Digital Yacht and we bought ready-made cables from them too. We need the AIS antenna cable to run from the top of the mizzen and the WiFi Boost antenna cable from the middle. To avoid them flapping around in the mast I had riveted a plastic duct to the inside front edge of the mast. Here we see how that failed and what we are trying next.
If you would like to encourage us then we have memberships or donations on Ko-Fi! at ko-fi.com/sust... Note that we receive 100% of all memberships and donations.
Or visit our shop at sustainablesai... for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags.
We are changing all the standing rigging on our 1977 Rival 38 to Dyneema synthetic rigging. That includes all shrouds, stays and even the chainplates for both masts of our ketch rig.
We are refitting a 1977 Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement in a few years. Three years ago, when we bought Vida she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
Lots more detail on our blog at sustainablesai...

Hi Nick, I'm afraid that it came with the boat. The old bulwark cap had been removed and the local boatbuilder already had both the aluminium strip and the C-section rubber cap. Unfortunately, his health started to deteriorate at about that time and he was never able to fit it.

Just remember any plastic tube in cold weather loses its flex. So any rivet would break the plastic inside the mast anyway when the mast flexes. Have you thought of using carbon fibre instead and marine glue it using those rivet holes ?

Thanks. We haven't thought of using carbon fibre for this and haven't got the budget. Hopefully the new plan will work.
