Procuring a replacement spar


The original mast extrusion is no longer available. As accidents happen, people need new masts. Right now, I don't have a good answer for you, but I hope that this page will collect enough information to help.

Gary Barker (Blarney, #563) reports, "Mast measurements on my A30 #563 is 34 ft. 4 in. high, not including masthead casting. Cross section is 3.5 in. x 6 in. Extrusion is 5/32 in. thick."
