mast

Hello, I’m looking for a mast foot for my 1988 Hunter 23. I’ve attached an image of the one I’m looking to replace. I can’t find a new replacement and the rebuild kit doesn’t fit my mast (too narrow and short). Does anybody have one of these in working condition that they’d like to sell...

Does anyone have experience or knowledge regarding pulling to 2 main chainplates for the top mast shrouds? I have one out for plate and backing plate replacement. The fabricator wants both or about 2 times the money for one at a time. I just started this research and don't have any other...

Ever since I bought our ODay 31 five years ago, The halyards, outhaul and reef lines have been difficult to pull. I assumed that someone had carelessly put them in the spars and they were tangled around each other causing friction. So last winter I had the mast pulled and I took the boom home...

So I recently bought an 87 H23. I've owned 3 other sailboats and I have never encountered the following: my mast has some major rake the likes I have never seen. The uppers won't go taunt at all. They have 4" of play and the turnbuckles are maxed. They register a 12 on a loos gauge. The...

I had an accident with my Mac 26M, pull a boat hull( was in a lift ) with my right wires mast support and needed replace the right-spreader tube. it was a gentle blow when I was docking with motor. After this, the mast support wires and the forestay are weak. Please help me to do the...

My wife and I are preparing to launch our 'new' O'day 20 this weekend, weather permitting, for her first trials (and ours). This will be a weekend of many 'firsts' hopefully we can figure out stepping the mast on our first O'day. While getting the mast set up is a concern, my bigger worry is...

I have a 1994 Catalina 270, and broke the Mast Eye yesterday using the whisker pole to wing the Jib sailing downwind. I am sure is was my stupidity, but I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction as to finding this part. It would appear I can unscrew the base plate and replace it...

I want to install a halyard in the mast. There's already a halyard in there, but I think it's twisted around something else in the mast. There's too much friction compare to the other halyards. So I want to pull it out and re-lead it through the mast. Are there any professional methods for...

Hey folks, thanks for reading- I just purchased a 1994 Seaward 23 and one of things that is going to keep me up at night is replacing the little plastic fittings on the mast where internally run halyards come out as well as the mainsail track entry fitting. All three of these pieces are broken...

Need help locating a replacement mast for a 1988 Hunter 23 located at Kerr Lake near Henderson, NC.

Hi All, I'm about to replace my original Furuno mast mounted radar dome on my 1983 Yamaha 33 with the Garmin HD model. I am not pulling the mast to hopefully do this. I want to pull the two new wires (power and ethernet cables) with the single Furuno wire bundle. The wires come out of a 3/4"...

My search for a "performance-live aboard" (yes, an oxymoron) is now focused on the Catalina 400 Mk II, '00-'08. I've poo-pooed mast furling rigs for years, but reading around, it looks like I may have to like it since most of the Mk IIs in that range are mast-furled. Performance sacrifice aside...

I would like to shorten my mast on my Hunter 33. The mast has the furling mainsail system. Has anyone shortened one of these mast? Where did you get it done? Did it work out ok?

Hi Guys, Have what I hope to be a couple of quick questions. Has anyone ever used a LOOS gauge (gauge that tells how taught standing rigging is set) to set their rigging by, and can you share the values? Next question, The last few feet of my mast seems to sweep backwards when installed on...

Can anyone tell me the height above waterline of a Catalina 270 with a standard mast? I can find the I measurement, but need to know the height above water. Thanks.

Hi, I purchased the mast base/foot rebuild kit. The old base hardware was stuck so good, I had to drill the heads off, then grind the remainder flush with the deck. The new base has a different mounting pattern, which is good because I couldn't get the old hardware out. I'm in need of knowing...

So.. I will be raising the mast on my Hunter 23 for the first time and really have no idea what we are doing. We bought the boat over a year ago and the previous owner helped us bring it down for the trip home. We are now putting it in the water and like I said are kinda totally lost. After...

There appears to be an integral spinnaker track built into the mast of the Hunter 29.5. Is anyone able to tell me the mast manufacture and if spinnaker cars are available for this mast? Fair Winds Bob Fuchs 1996 Hunter 29.5 SV Monte Cristo

I've been upgrading all my electronics on my 1991 Hunter 28 on Lake Winnebago. New Raymarine EV100 autohelm, i70s instrument, ITC5 transducer converter. Everything went very smoothly. So every year, our marina rents a cherry picker for us to share the cost and check out our mast equipment...

Any idea how i could replace the sheave for my Mains halyard at mast top without lowering the mast?
