Is the mast step mounted on top of the door post in the V-berth, thus removing the need for a structural beam for support?

The mast sits on the deck above a teak post. Follow the link to see a picture. The post I'm referring too is the one that is forward and has the head door hinges attached to it.

As mentioned before, it would be very interesting to have them rafted up side-by-side. I've heard that the Fuji's mast was in the same place whether it was the cutter or the ketch. I don't know if that's the case, but it would seem rather strange to me. I'll check the other forum where I think I read it and post later.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> rig info -- Tim Mertinooke, - Thursday - 12/31/09 - 1:15pm

I found the thread fro the Fuji Forum:
http://www.fujiyachts.net/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=636&p=2378&hilit=cutter+mast#p2378

It appears as though the Fuji 32 Ketch had the mast in the same position as the sloop. From a construction standpoint, I imagine it would have been easier to do it that way and then just beef up the cockpit sole of the ketch to handle the mizzen mast compression. To compensate, I think the mizzen mast of the fuji is farther aft. I wonder if the distance between the two masts is the same as those on the mariner and what effect it might have on the sailing performance if the rig is more aft. it looks like we ned to do a little comparison sailing to find out ;)
