Hi everyone,
I'm seeking a good solution on mounting a Moses mast (flat plate, 4 bolts) to a self build board.
It's my first board building project and I am currently at a stage where I have carefully foiled out the board shape from a 50mm polystyrene foam blank.
I haven't used a stringer so far and I am at a point where I have to build in the reinforcement for the mast attachment.
I came up with this idea of gluing 3 stringers (6mm plywood) in the back of the board (file below/ top view) and fill 4 rectangular sections (for bolts) with epoxy resin to create a light jet strong cage:
I would appreciate your input on wether or not this could work aswell as other ideas on how to tackle this.
On a last note: I'll be glassing in epoxy using a vacuum bag and I have purchased a few lengths of 5oz e-glass. I believe that extra glass in the mast attachment region is required and I'm very open to suggestions on the glass schedule.
Thank you!
Flo
