Mast section

LogoFreak · February 16, 2022, 08:13:33 AM

Does anyone know of the existence of a broken C34 mast? I need a one foot long piece of it. Happy to pay for someone's time to get it and ship it to me.

The previous owner of our boat had/has her original and slightly damaged mast.
His member name is cmainprize.

If that falls through I have one.

You have (at least) got me curious! What is your intended purpose for it?

I am with Noah... you are always up to something fun: spill the beans!

Lol, nothing spectacular. I'd like to make winch pads out of fibreglass and having a section in the garage would simplify it a lot.

The other mast is from a MKII, pretty sure it's a different profile. Is yours from a MKI? What would you want for like an 18" slice?

What you need is a contour gauge. Can find on Amazon for under $20.

And then transfer the shape to what?

So you can build a mold that matches the contour of your mast.

Wood sandwich, welded-up aluminum, moulded fiberglass...???? What was your plan, to slice mast section in half??

Use it to layup fibreglass on to get a perfect match.

Not saying I can't do it without a piece of a mast, but it sure would be a lot easier.
