Topic : Carbon Mast wanted - Dead or Alive!

I am looking for a Carbon Mast for my Project boat and so need something sensibly priced (gutted I missed Alan Fullers SS mast). I am happy with something that needs repairing if anyone has a broken one, even if they think it is beyond repair. Please let me know. Thanks.

I have a broken chippo mast with all the rigging (except shrouds). Its in 3 bits and the spreaders need sticking back on, so technically 5 peices. There is a gag here somehwere, but the spreaders are fully adjustable...

I'm open to offers.

Jon, you need to try harder. Tosh has a broken Chippy in 4 pieces (spreaders don't count you big cheat). It's been in his garage for at least 3 years and although he keeps saying he'll fix it one day I doubt he has the prittsick skills.

Hi

I have the remains of a Selden broken in one spot but no rigging and missing a spreader end - fell in the grass :-( if interested?

Regards

I left a Chipstow mast broken in 4 bits (3 breaks) lying in the grass at Wembley SC a few years ago by the fence (litterbug i know). I intended to collect it when convenient and sell on for a few quid but never did. If it is still there anyone who wants it is welcome to it. Someone may have already helped themselves and good luck to them.

I would guess that it will have gone by now, but I will be there on Sunday so if anyone knows where it is I will gladly take it away!

The dead one is still very much in 4 pieces. Tosh's gluing skills have come to the fore of late in helping Jack with his airfix so you never know.....

Dave,
Where is your Selden broken? If there is 4m of intact untapered tube then I am keen to recycle into i14 racks.
If anyone else has something similar please let me know.
Dan.

Just above the spinnaker pole fitting if I remember correctly - may not be long enough.  I will take a tape to it tomorrow in the daylight
