the compression post in the M17 doesn't need to be stainless steel. the compression post is actually two pieces - one from the v-berth to the cabin top. a second section is under the v-berth. on SWEET PEA the section between the v-berth and the cabin top is a round aluminum tube about 3" diameter (i've not measured it ... just banged it with my head, shoulders, arms ...). not sure the wall thickness. the lower section is a short section of mast (even has the sail slug grove). :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com :: Sage Marine - www.sagemarine.com --- On Sat, 3/31/12, Beowulf <beowulf2@cox.net> wrote:
