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

PS Where do you live?

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 ?
