nomast, Texas
John Paul: I recently aquired a mastless H34. The ability to locate a suitable mast depends on where you look, e.g. try Sailorman.com of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. (this is an excellent place) Also, there are countless boatyards along the Miami River and, in south Florida that cater to both pleasure and commercial sailors. Since I caught wind of this web site, I discovered both good advice and scuttlebutt I woundn't give my former mother-in-law, well almost. Incidentially, I found a 46' mast with the spreaders from another vessel for $250. The mast specifications for your H36 can be found at hunter.com or sailnet.com. Rigging can be made up and, sails are available on a budget or at resonable prices. You have an honorable mission, so don't give up the ship, especially after getting sticker shock advice from someone who is a real idiot, or has more money than they know what to do with. Good Luck.
