I'm missing the teak that goes around the top of the mast in the cabin, between the mast and headliner. I've made a template to make it, but now looking at the mast, I can't see any way of attaching it. It has to have at least 1/2" clearance from the mast and I can't see any holes above. Anyone having this kind of ring, please give me an idea how yours is attached.

Two pieces!
By the way, if you are going to make one from scratch, you might want to think about making it in two pieces, rather than one big oval. I used to step my mast every spring, and while I never once forgot to put that teak ring around the mast as it came down through the deck, I always figured the day would come when I did.
One day that day will come. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow....but soon, and for the rest of the season........or however that Bogart speach goes. Anyway, if you forgot, then having the ring in two pieces would be pretty slick.
