Gods 1 - Tom 0

Last night just after we had the Osprey all rigged for travel to the boat launch a tropical storm and down pour rolled through and a tree branch fell and snapped the mast just above the spreaders and the inserted metal tube.  The mast is toast.  No damage whatsoever to the boat herself. Any ideas out there in SeaHawk world on a replacement? Might a replacement be found in England and mailed post paid to me?

Re: Gods 1 - Tom 0

Is there no way to get a sleeve inserted and riveted to link the two halves back together? I've seen that done on larger masts?

So sorry that you've had such bad luck. Hope it gets sorted out.

Tom,
Sorry to hear about your mast, not a nice way to start the sailing season.
I have a Pedro, and the mast is a bit shorter then the sea hawk and it is the same section profile from bottom to top.
I assume a local rigger could supply you with a mast section cut to the same length as your old must.
It may take a day or so to remove the old fittings and carefully refit them to the new section, but it may be easier and cheaper then trying to source a Sea Hawk mast from the UK. Plus the USA mast section may be tree proof!
