Sorry I couldn't make it - though, after looking at the photos, perhapsd not that sorry! Some spectacular wipeout sequences!
All the best with the mast search/repair Dave.

First it was a good old ally one but it stayed that shape and was well kinked at deck level (hog stepped).
mast should be fixed by Salcombe Mr Dirty Hands Performs miracles again Ta Phil

If it helps, I've a mast from our old hog-stepped Smokers (2981) - it looks as if it's had a 6 inch plug added to the foot (I'm guessing as to the lenght here - I don't have the mast with me at the moment!).
Anyone need one? - free to good home!

Thinking of changing my boats name from finlandia to the pheonix (joking), so far this seson we have a 50% damage ratio on midland circuit events!
Anyway Finlandi came back today with nice tidy repairs to the failed glue jonints bring on the next one!

The next failed glue join or event?

Both, I guess it's that time in the boats life. In a couple of years time most of it will have been reglued!

I am delighted to read that our much loved 3190 Finlandia is still being sailed competitively and being so well cared for. She was beautifully built by Rowsells and we had many years of great racing in her at Draycote and on the open meeting circuit. Future damage may be irreparable if her name ever gets changed.
