I just joined INA after buying a 1987 N22, no 47, currently named Magic Time but soon to be rechristened "OshKosh". The previous owner, Ron Weber, a former INA member, undertook what appears to me (with my admittedly limited knowledge) to be an excellent job of repowering from diesel to electric with an Electric Yacht QT10 and a Renogy 3500 watt solar/AC inverter charger.

Thank you Joe, and hello all.

Tomorrow I drop my boat in the water in Deltaville, Va, after shipping it by truck from Punta Gorda, Fla. No doubt many questions will follow as I look to benefit from your collective experience. I already have an issue with a stripped hole in the mast step bracket for one of the two set bolts, but I think I know what the options are from earlier threads on this subject. The mast has already been stepped so I will not be doing the drilling necessary to rethread the hole, so for the moment I will use very thin edge (1/64") hardwood wedges. After that we will see, depending on how that works. I am impressed by how active this group is!

You’re lucky, Christian as Ed Strazzini lives in Deltaville.  In regards to that hole, go to the local auto parts store and get a Heli Coil kit for that size which I believe is 5/16.  It will include a tool to install and several inserts.  A quick and EZ fix

Thank you Joe!

I just looked up Ed and he is definitely someone I'd like to meet.

As for the helicoil, that did seem like the long-term fix to me but I'm wondering if there is room to drill, even with a right angle attachment, without removing the bracket. I am also thinking that I cannot do the drilling without lifting the mast out of the bracket for fear of drilling into the mast itself. Am I wrong about that?

[Joe Valinoti]

Go to the store and look at the Helicoil kit and you’ll see there is no drilling needed or watch -  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=ghow+to+use+a+Helicoil+kit&mid=989C118A66C2B36F63A2989C118A66C2B36F63A2&FORM=VIRE

Hi Christian -

Welcome aboard. I owned "Moustaches", an NS 22 O/B #56, from 2012 until 2023. Wonderful, wonderful boats. Comfy but they go like locomotives. I found it a good idea to reef early on this boat. I noticed almost no reduction in boat speed by putting in the first reef. 

Regarding this mast business (and most other mechanical issues), Joe knows. Take his advice.

Have a blast with your new boat. You'll not regret this purchase.

Christian,

If you've joined the INA, you have access to mast and rigging advice from the original Nonsuch rigger, Mike Quill.  He's on retainer to give free advice to INA members.

You might want to take advantage of that for your mast questions.

Thanks Joe and Bob for the advice, and Ernie for the welcome. I will watch the video and get in touch with Mike Quill.
