Mast stepping
text:
Mast stepping is the process of raising the mast of a boat. It may be a ceremonial occasion on a new boat, a necessary step, or simply routine. The ceremony involves placing or welding one or more coins into the mast step of a ship, and is seen as an important ceremonial occasion in a ship's construction, thought to bring good luck. Although the coins were originally placed under the main-mast of a ship, they are now generally welded under the radar mast or laid in the keel as part of a keel lay
