Mast pin in Tabernacle on a Wayfarer World in or out?

[Robert PopeParticipant]

I have recently bought a Proctor Wayfarer World and am using it for club racing. When i rigged the boat i removed the pin that went through the tabernacle and mast, but having just watched a Hartley ‘how to rig a Wayfarer’ video on You Tube, Mark Hartley left the pin in place. Is this right? So simple question leave it in for racing or take it out?

I have been sailing it with the pin removed with no disasters so far.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Robert,

reading the class rules, I believe the mast pin should be in for racing.
