This is regarding a 20' tornado cat.
I have a bit of difficulty getting the mast(which is going to be the beam) track down to the level of the edge of the decks, which is where the longitudal netting rail is. I want to use the mast track for the transverse netting rail. There is a groove in the deck for the beam, but the mast has too long chord to go all the way down. I have widened the groove, but I am a bit reluctant to widen it enough because I am cutting through the deck and I have not decided how to get the strength back in this most crucial area.
So the question is, will it be a problem that the transverse netting attachment rails (fore and aft beams) is higher than the longitudal ones (deck sides)?

Aaaaarrgghh!!!
The bog is running away, and setting within minutes, glass is flying everywhere, everything is sticky, and the beam cup probably will become weak!

Boatbuilding sucks! I'm going to dring lotsa beers in the sun instead. Maybe I can get some pics so some of you wizards can solve this problem for me to a plug and play level. so long

ps it should probably be "sail track" not "mast track" above.
