Tampas de mastro

“As mast caps served as protective coverings and anchor points for various rigging and equipment, they were typically made of wood or metal. These mast caps were securely fastened to the uppermost part of the mast, providing a stable platform for attaching additional elements.

The main purpose of mast caps was to provide a secure and stable base for the rigging and equipment located at the top of the mast. They helped distribute the weight and forces exerted on the mast, ensuring its structural integrity and preventing damage or wear. Mast caps also acted as protective coverings, shielding the top of the mast from the elements and reducing the risk of water penetration or decay. Additionally, they often had sheave wheels or pulleys, allowing ropes or lines to pass through for hoisting and adjusting sails or flags.
