I just got this Bayfield 29C surveyed. One of the things that came back was some damage on the Mast. About 1” by 2” striations 1/4” deep in some places. Will that be a problem in the future? How could I fix it? Will that affect the mast integrity?

From your photo, it looks like normal wear and tear. Perhaps others with more experience will chime in.

BUY THE BAYFIELD !!! You'll love it! We had one, though not a C. It's a true blue-water cruiser designed and fitted out for two people. The cutter rig is very flexible especially in marginal conditions. Sailing the Florida Panhandle involved a lot of tacking so I turned mine into a "cloop" by putting a quick disconnect on the inner stay and bungie-corded it to the bottom of the mast. and could reconnect it in conditoins when I wanted to fly a staysail or a storm jib. Sea kindly in the extreme. One potential concern: If it has the single-cylinder Yanmar -- some parts such as the oil pump have been unavailable for years. We repowered with a little thee-cylinder Perkins.
