Dutch term

mastbok

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering
De hele zin is:
In overleg met ons kunt u kiezen voor een stalen kantelvoet, een mastbok, een overschuifkoker, een eenvoudige grondbuis of muurbeugels. (van een website van een vlaggenmastenfabrikant)

Ik vond op het shipmate vlaggenwoordenboek al een omschrijving van een mastbok: Scharnierende constructie om een vlaggenmast met vierkante voet geheel boven de grond te bevestigen.

Wie kan me helpen met de Engelse term?
Bedankt alvast

bracket

zou het niet gewoon iets van "adjustable bracket" of "aliminium bracket" kunnen zijn? Zie link

neutral Wouter van Kampen : dat is inderdaad een mastbok. Het probleem hier is dat de term mastbok in de brontekst verkeerd wordt gebruikt.

Tilt Shoe Base

Tilt Shoe Base has two purposes (1) effortless installation, only one person is required to raise the flagpole. (2) maintenance and decorating the pole for events, is made easy. Tilt pins are stainless steel and sized in accordance with flagpole size. If the anchor bolt is not level, extra leveling can occur at the shoe.

Perhaps the website can help with other terminology too.

That's what I realised after I posted the answer but the site seemed to provide many answers for this sort of text including diagrams

hinged mast step

This might be what you're looking for.

"I had discovered this system in an American yachting magazine many years ago and the author of the article had written it was widely used in Holland, where there are many bridges.

The system allows to step a mast using only a hinged mast step, a hinge (a fork and an eye) in the capshrouds along the same axis as the hinge in the mast step and a tang on the forward face of the mast, near its base, to connect the spinnaker pole.

The unstepped mast is placed on the deck and the pin inserted in the hinge. The whisker pole is placed vertically near the base of the mast, held aft by a halyard, laterally by a pair of shrouds connected to the hinge in the shrouds (a shackle in place of the pin linking the fork to the eye).

The mast and cap-shrouds, and the pole and its shrouds form two isoceles triangles pivoting around a common base, materialized by the hinge in the mast step and in the shrouds.

By pulling on the pole with a four-part tackle shackled to the stemhead, its fall brought to a winch (or a windlass), the mast is brought to the vertical. The combined power of a tackle and a winch makes it possible to pull the mast up with a moderate effort.

I have used this system dozens of times, often single-handed, whether to step or unstep the mast whenever I have to haul the boat on its trailer."
