Rotating masts, the bearings and dranige.
Small structures small problems. The mast are about 3.5 meter above deck and carry 3.5 square meter sail. Not more than an Optimist dingy. Exlex the canoe cruiser have much more stability and her intended route will take her into much windier waters. Still the forces are very small compared to big boats. That makes it possible to use simple solutions.
At deck leve there is a bearing and one more at the root of the mast. If availible and not to costly I will use Tufnol at the mast and glue it with NM-epoxy at the boat I will use POM or Delrin or acetal same thing different names.
The upper and lower bearing are joined by tube preventing water from enter the boat.
Water that enter the tube will be drained at hull side. This is easy as the mast are side by side close to the hull side.

Sven Yrvind
Hi My name is Sven Yrvind. I design, build and cruise small boats. 1962 I left Sweden in 15 feet converted Blekingseka. I soon found out that there was room for improvement. To understand the basic I began to study mathematics and engenering. 1968 I sailed to England via many contries in a converted 13 feet rowing boat. People told me I be more happy on a bigger boat. November that year I found a wreck an old steam launch build 1885 I converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro. That voyage advised me that a bigger boat do not bring happiness, happiness is an inside thing. I designed a 6 meter doubble ender built her in my mother basement. Tried to sail around Cape Horn with her but was capsized and pitchpoled. Later I built an 5.9 meter boat in her I rounded Cape Horn in the southern winter June 1980. I have continued to design, build, and cruise small boats often in high latitudes. Please support me on my donation button on my site yrvind.com
