I was the only one who raced yesterday with reefed main. I knew the winds were dicey and I didn't want to over tax the boat. It worked out OK, because when we rounded the detached breakwater and ran into gusty winds and steep sloppy waves hitting broadside, I was able to cut inside boats that were struggling with the conditions, and made up a lot of time because my boat was pretty much under control.

No one was hurt and we recovered the mast, sails and rigging. The cabin top and toe rail got pretty chewed up from all the swells. The mast ended up with an impact dent and bent.

Thanks Fred, I put it on u ship hoping I could piggy back something. I am not in hurry. I am driving across Thanksgiving, I can take a day and run up there. They keep texting me other things to buy, lol. Now that I found a mast, I have lots of damage and repairs , if you can imagine 10 ft + seas and your boat rolling raill to rail as we secured sails and lines. I tried to attach a picture of the damage, if you see it.

I love the mast Buzz built for Papoose. It did take 11 months to get it though. But, I got it one week before the first race so I only lost the season when I was dismasted and no option could have prevented that. But I feel your pain. Good luck in picking up the new mast.

Randy,I wonder if you can cut the mast in half, then sleeve it and weld it back together once you get it home? Robin Le Grahm broke the mast on his Lapworth 24 twice, and had it fixed that way. Can a common carrier just tie the mast on top of a trailer, and ship it to you that way? Uh. maybe not, cause it's likely the mast is going to need to be taken off one trailer and put on another to get from Dee Troit to Sta. Barb/Ventura, but maybe it's doable. It would seem the cost of driving to and from Detroid dragging a trailer, including gas and motels, would be un-economic. But, maybe not.Another idea, can you fly out, rent a motor home, put the mast on the roof, and drive it one way to California?Here's another thought: buy a light weight, two wheel trailer in Detroit via Craigslist, weld a 2" X 21' steel pipe onto the tongue, a vertical tube with a saddle at the tongue high enough to clear the tailgate and cab, and drag the whole thing back, detach the tube etc. and sell the trailer on Craigslist. Justathought. Where there's a will, there's a way. Lastly, maybe you can custom built the steel brackets to fit a double axle U Haul trailer, back, front and tongue, throw them in the back of your truck, bolt them on the same model trailer when you get to Detroit, and haul the mast home, and turn in the trailer locally. U-Haul trailer rental is relatively cheap, won't have to look for, buy, or sell trailer you don't want, etc. Jerry of Shpritz.
