Hello!
I had a little "issue" with my mast. It came down a little faster than it was supposed to and it twisted the metal at the bottom. luckily the damage was not too bad. I trimmed about 3 inches off the bottom of the mast with a miter saw and I figured I can replace everything that broke. (note, my sail would not reach the top of the mast before, by about 3 inches, so i'm hoping the shorter mast will just make it so the sail actually reaches the top now the boom will be a few inches lower now).
I took the broken pieces to my local Western Marine store today, thinking this would be a no-brainer. However, the teenager at the cash register was the only person in the store and she looked at me like I was from another planet.
So I think I need to find these parts online. Can anyone here point me to a place I can buy these parts? I can't seem to find them very easily online.
Here's what I need:
I searched the West Marine online catalog and couldn't fine replacement parts for this. also tried Googling and not coming up with much. seems like a very common part though, maybe I'm not looking in the right place. any help is appreciated.
thanks!
