Tabernacle slot for lowered mast - nice having the perfect size cup for the outline
The cutout for the lowered mast was going to closely follow the shape of the mast at first, but I rounded it out to make it bear the load more uniformly.  With the way this is overbuilt, probably no need, but its done now. Nothing like having a cup with a rim of the perfect dimension for the curve.   :)
