694.0. "Broken Masts?" by ABE::HASKELL () Fri Nov 13 1987 13:02

    I am looking for a 12 section of broken sailboat mast (wood or
    aluminum). I also need a shorter piece, about 8 feet long and a
    bit smaller. The 12 foot section should be about 4 inches at the
    base.
    
    Purpose? To install a mast on my lobster boat for fishing, etc.
    
    Thanks

694.1Try Ensign's or Swift SailingAKOV11::KALINOWSKIWed Nov 18 1987 15:458
      You might try a couple of Hobie Cat dealers on the Cape. I've
    seen enough masts wrecked one way or another. Most people just rip
    off the masting plate, the sheave, and the cleats before junking
    them, but maybe these folks could be on the lookout for you the
    next time someone comes in to buy one. The two you should check
    would be ensign marine in mattaposit or swift sailing in
    harwichport. The masts are aluminum and approx 4" in diameter.

    "Rig-Rite Inc." should have what you need.
    They build replacement spars, and they almost always
    have a pile of scrap sections to choose from.  However,
    they're located in Warwick R.I.  Their number is 
    401-739-1140, if you want to see if they have what 
    you're looking for.
