Wow. What happened, was it a water incident or while trailering?
Some of it may be recycled for the repair, or did it all go overboard?

I think we need more information to know how we might help. When a catastrophe occurs, I know we tend to generalize the destruction and feel everything is lost. Do you have ANY of the equipment remaining? If so, you should sort it out, take pictures of the damage, and post them here in order to get good advice on how to salvage it and repair it. Sailboat parts are expensive in general, and old sailboat parts are hard to find, so every pin, turnbuckle, toggle, etc. is worth saving! You might be surprised how easily some parts, like masts, can be salvaged and used again.

If you find that you need parts, rigging companies, the forums, craigslist, boatyards, etc. can help. Most rigging can be recreated with generic parts and some ingenuity. Mast and boom extrusions are harder. Rudders and keels... Maybe even more difficult.

Lastly, no matter what happened, you are still here and able to continue sailing! That is a good place to be!

Thanks,

Andrew

Not nearly enough info to help on this one.

On the other hand, that O'day 20 mast was probably a Dwyer, and they still make masts, so replacement is not out of the question, though it will be expensive.

Another option is this: "Sailboat junkyard" in Washington. Here's another post describing it, and he might have an O'day 20 mast and rigging to sell. Shipping won't be cheap… http://forum.trailersailor.com/post_gb.php?id=1386148#1386148
