[quote=MN3][quote] He told me the tramp kept pulling out of the front groove, and there was a damaged shroud anchor that occurred when a swage fitting split, letting the mast fall. This apparently required cutting a hole in the hull to replace the shroud anchor, which was then patched over. I'm not certain how I'd assess the internal repair. [/quote]
Either the tramp bolt rope needs replacing or there is something very wrong with your tramp track (which is a big deal on these boats as it is inside the hull

As per the shroud anchor- something with that story is odd: the stay anchor/tang is all internal except the little nub above the deck. if a shroud swage failed... the mast would fall but how does that effect the anchor inside the hull? unless the mast fell ON the shroud tang and broke it off - i don't see how these are related

sounds like the anchor failed and the tang pulled out - or something like that 
not sure but sounds odd

Putting a spin on your current boat sounds like a better and better option (ymmv)<em>Edited by MN3 on Jan 19, 2018 - 10:16 AM.</em> [/quote]
