Mast For Catalina 30 Tall Rig

[bassmanss]

I'm looking for a replacement mast for my Catalina 30 Tall Rig. I'm located at Lake Lanier GA. I'd like an exact replacement if at all possible.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I've already been down that road unsuccesfully. They made their own extrusions back then and have since outsource all of that stuff to seldon. They are out of replacements and won't be making any more.

You've already seen an exact replacement may not be in the cards. I'd consider an extrusion cross section that is as close as possible, buy a mast kit or raw extrusion (if your parts are reusable) and include a matching mast step.

Here are two possible sources:

I bought a LeFiell mast kit during the construction of my Westsail 32. It was an excellent spar, now 25 years old and has crossed oceans. The boat recently departed Malaysia.

I have a few masts in my yard, send me the measurements and I will see if I have something you can use. I'm in Melbourne ,Fl
