Need a mast for 1983 Catalina 22

[Hobart08]

Hello - I toppled my mast for my 1983 Catalina 22 and desperately need a replacement mast. Catalina direct told me I can use a mast from the mid 1970's until 1985 ---- would need the entire mast assembly - please help!

You can buy a WHOLE boat locally for less than the cost of a new mast. Like this one on LI for $1200 bucks.

Plus you get another OB, sails, a furler, and a ton of spares. Or sell this stuff and break even.

Hobart08, I would consider looking at the Furler if you are considering the mast, just a thought.

Thats amazing. I thought the 1200 deal was good.

But it really shows that it makes NO sense to buy a 'project' boat and pour sweat into her for 12 months. You can buy almost ready-to-sail boats for the price of a quality night out on the town.
