What is this hole at the head of the mast for?

Drone

A couple of days later I flew whilst sailing and crashed it into the sea

I love it. Sorry to hear about the crash though. Fixable?

I don't know, I cant dive to 300m to get it back

[GILow]

Ah right. Yeah, I'm guessing not fixable. Still it seems to have gone out In a blaze of glory. And it sure beats the crap out of my mast top maintenance photos that's for sure.

It was certainly minimal effort for me to get the photos

Might be for when you are up there working and need to PEE? Better than spraying the crew below, RIGHT?

Maybe someone needs to make floats for drones?...like what helicopters that can land on the water have.

Possibly a hole for a double halyard Sheave fitting for the spinnaker halyard and a spare.
