I'm back in the game!!!! Went for my first real sail in 5 years on Thursday and had a ball despite the very marginal conditions... (thanks swoosh for the board )

But now my mast base is stuck to my board... Tried spraying it with WD40, tapping with a hammer etc but it's seriously STUCK!!!!

Has anyone got any idea's on how to get the damn thing off?

I'd stick to tapping it with a hammer. just make sure you are tapping it in the right direction. I think if that doesn't work, you can pull the mastbase appart depending on which one you got.

Do you have the plastic washer between the mastbase and the board? I usually only do my mastbase up one hand tight, i find thats more then enough to keep it in place.

Might have to come up for a sail one day, u guys had wind?!!!

congratulations on the return of your manly-ness there is a support group for us
