I was thinking of using Oak 2X6 lumber. G10 is so expensive. Two
trusses. One in the front and the other in the back. Sandwich the oak
beams between a fiberglass. I'll set the beams down on Kevlar tape. Then
tape on the top. The rear beam will actually bolt onto the bulk heads.
The mast will sit on an aluminum plate between the two beams. I will
then have Aluminum support tubes up to the chain plates from the bottom
of the mast base. I will then put back the Beam of destiny and
everything should be very stiff. Maybe now the head stay will not sag
as much.

Bottom line is you may want to be a little aggressive with those diagnostic pilot holes!!!!
