Sabre 28: Mast step

The Sabre has a deck stepped mast with a solid teak compression post fastened its whole length to the port bulkhead.  The post ends at the sole level and a piece of compromised hardwood was under the sole here.
There was rot of course so I removed it all out.  In its place I made a step support of 3 inch pvc tube filled with chopped carbon fiber set in epoxy.  This was cut and ground to fit the post without the sole in-between.  It stands upon the leads keel.  I then cut a piece of spele to replace to void in the sole.  It rests on a notch in the post support.  It is a tight fit and was pressed into place with thickened epoxy.
