Hi Mike

You're reminding me now of some more detail. Our shipwright had to take out the shower tray and renew the inner layer of the double skin bulkhead from the shower tray downwards. At that stage we were attributing the compression post rot to shower activity dampness working its way down the side of the shower tray. Maybe it was a combination of factors. I recommend you do some testing of the post and bulkhead with a screwdriver blade without delay. We did not have to take down the mast, however. A couple of acro-props were used to bridge the load of the mast down to the hull while the compression post and bulkhead were cut away. Whilst it all sounds rather frightening, it proved to be a fairly straightforward job for a competent shipwright and not too expensive, circa $2000 Australian. Regards, Roger, Mango 28, Zorba
