[quote=cbb]Thanks for all the replies. it would seem if the rotator was mounted up high, a compression sleve would be imperative. Being just an inch or two above the base, maybe not so much as the base should carry the compressive load.
The main goal for me, if not the only goal, is to settle down the mast in light winds. More than likely I'll end up rigging it as shown above, which looks great. I've toyed with the idea, however, of just rigging some form of a friction line through it that would prevent the mast from dancing around in light winds/calm, but still rotate normally when the sail fills normally. Think this might work? I do like the idea of rotating the mast for rigging though - hadn't thought of that...
