Mast Base Plate for 26D...

Any suggestions as to source for an improved Mast Base Plate> I look to add two deck organizer and running lines aft to the cockpit this summer. We'll use Garhauer deck hardware - for the organizer and clutches.

The cutout for the Dagger board - makes this a bit more complicated.

thanks...

Raised my mast twice by hand, I must be getting old and feeble. I am 6' 195lbs and work with my hands and around property and even though I'm not a big muscley :?: guy, I am in shape and it was a struggle getting it up (the mast,guys :P ). I just used my new :macm: mast raising system on my :macx: SWEET :D and I will not be doing the manual raising thing again anytime soon. Saw a youtube video of a guy raising his mast and it looked easy, it wasn't, maybe I was in wrong position or something but it was heavy.
