I can try to get photo of mine to show; concerned that something may be missing.

When I get home this evening I'll get one for you.... a word of warning though I only recently bought the boat so mine might be all wrong :P

Looks like the stern light is on the top of the mast. Never seen that before. :|

Hmmmm...that is different from mine, but I have no idea which one is stock, or if either one is stock. I will post some pictures later.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like it's missing the top plate?

Looks like PO might have put that small square plate on mast top for light?? Venture 222 mast extrusion is Sparcraft S104. Contact Blue Water Yachts in Seattle. They specialize in Venture/Mac stuff. If you can get two and put one on the bottom. Keeps birds from building nests inside :o . I replaced Freedom mast top plate with "chicken head" which allows halyards to be run internally. Good Luck.

jkfinity can you take a picture of the front of your mast so I can see the bracket for the forstay? Mine looks like something that a previous owner may have rigged up

Thanks for the picture. I guess my forstay bracket is the proper one... it seems super chincy but I guess that's all a small boat like this needs :P
