Mast Replacement

[Thats All Folks]

I need to replace my mast. I have a 1979 ODay 25. She's in great shape except the mast is now shaped like a dog leg, the results of a mast eating tree at at my launch site. I will spare you the gory details. Any suggestions about where to find a used mast or how to buy a new replacement?

Replacement mast

Check either Rigrite.com or Dwyermast.com for new masts. The Dwyer mast DM 500 looks very close to my mast and the large halyard plate listed as accessories for the DM 500 fit my mast base perfectly with all four holes lining up exactly. I've seen a few masts listed as used on some of the used sail web sites. Another possibility is huricane salvage but ? what kind of shape the masts would be in. I have no experience dealing with that but maybe someone else does and will respond.Good luck and good sailing.

Oops!

Forgot to tell you I also have a O'Day 25, 1975 model.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. I have looked at the Dwyermast.com Website and think they may be able to help. I am waiting for an email response. I'm not too optomistic about finding a quality used mast.
