Can a mast be repaired? If no, where can I buy a mast for my Hunter 23.5?

I'm inclined to blame ego driven welders that have well fed lawyers mostly because I'm a cheap sailboat owner that can't afford a Death-Star lawyer. (probably wouldn't even if I could)

... It's sad that due to "Liability" reasons, welders don't want to repair the mast...
I think it's more than liability. Any skilled person would not want to apply his/her skill to a job that will fail. Of course they don't want the liability but moreover a skilled person doesn't want his/her reputation to be questioned and doesn't want a customer to come back for a re-do at no cost or reduced cost. The one choice a skilled person has that affects the bottom line is what jobs to take and which ones to pass on.
