ABSTRACT:
A sailboat is provided with an adjustable mast system in which the base of the mast is pivotally attached to the top deck surface of the sailboat hull. Hydraulic cylinders connected to and integral with the shroud mast support system can vary the effective length of the shrouds, thereby tilting the mast to windward to maintain it in a vertical position while the boat hull is heeled.
