I have a 49 ft mast with rigging and furller in the back yard but it will be just a bit too far away from you as we are the other side of the big pond.Greg

Let me look into shipping costs, it may be worth it. Where are you.

I read of another guy that is trying to get one from NZ, maybe we can team up with the cost of shipping.

You guy's need to be aware that you can not just ask for a mast of X length. You need to ensure it is the correct weight. As in wall section. I am in that process right now. I have a 46ft mast about to be replaced because it is too light for the boat and rigging. Once the load comes on, the mast takes on an S bend shape. The mast to replace it with is much thicker and thus stronger. I will have a mast here soon that fits the lengths required by may of you asking for one, but I suggest it may not meet all the requirements. Be careful and be clear on what you need.
