Following on from my last entry;
Can't find a solution to my broken split mast other than buying a new one. (Cost nearly as much as the boat is worth). (Neither Windsport nor Laser can help in the short term)

Anyone got a broken / old / un-needed split mast with a complete insert that I could scavenge. Otherwise I will have to try to get a new insert made.

Desparate to get sailing again at the height of the season so any help appreciated

Hi Geoff
I have a damaged bottom section of a mast that might have a good joining piece.
Drop me an EMail giving me you EMail address and phone number and we can see what can be done.
Cheers

Geoff replied:

Looks like I have a solution thanks Bob. I have been lent a mast while a new insert is being made by Steve Sawford.

Thanks though

Geoff,

My mast has just suffered a similar fate.
How much did Steve Sawford charge for your new insert ?
