Re: Lost mast on my new cal 34

Sorry to hear about your stick going for a swim; been there, done that, wore the t-shirt. For a used spar, I expect that there may still be a lot of salvage masts available from the boats that got totaled in hurricanes in the past few years. Good Old Boat Magazine has a list of consignment stores -- http://www.goodoldboat.com/resources_for_sailors/consignment_stores.php -- which could be a good place to start. You'll find a bunch in Florida. Also, it is not that expensive (compared with the price of a new mast) to ship a mast. It's been about 10 years since we shipped one, but it hundreds of dollars, not thousands. Good luck and keep us posted. Alfred Poor 1973 Tartan 34C #288 "Jambalaya"
