Yamaha 36 broken mast.

[Inox]

Hello!
Our loved mast broke due to a fail in a chain plate from the top shroud. It can not be repaired as it’s twisted.
we are looking for solutions. So any comment will be welcome!
Cheers. Fair winds!

I will be following this thread in case anyone has a solution. I sure don't. Sorry for your trouble.

I know that Ballenger Spars makes custom spars for a variety of boats. They may be a resource.

The challenge of older boats is that the design information from the manufacture is rarely available. They would be worth contacting to see if they can help.

You are not limited to any specific original manufacturer. Selden Spars in Europe might be able to fit a mast to your boat.

You will need some dimensions of the current rig to help a manufacture to build a replacement. Information like that provided by SailboatData may help.

I'm sure you've seen this article about replacing a Y36 mast in Ireland. Maybe they can make some suggestions.
