German term or phrase: Mastspur
Die Mastspur ist bei Segelschiffen eine Halterung für den Mastfuß, die ein Verschieben der Mastfußhalterung in Richtung des Kiels und so eine Änderung der Trimmung ermöglicht. Wird der Mastfuß verschoben, ändert sich die Neigung, wenn die Längen von Vor- und Achterstag nicht geändert werden.

(One dictionary say "mast step" but another says "mast step" for Mastfuß)

English translation:mast step
Explanation:
step = Spur foot = Fuß.

The article is confusing. I think here the "Mastfuß" is the mast itself.

The mast step usually has a built in pattern fitting a matching pattern on the bottom of the mast, enabling the mast to be accurately positioned.
