There is a specific mast that fits the Buccaneer, though you may be able to find a different new or second-hand spar that will work. Details on the length of the spar and other dimensions should be available online. Building a "new" mast, boom and rigging may be expensive. Finding a used Buccaneer mast might be easier and cheaper. The lack of a spar may be a reason the boat you're looking at is so "reasonably" priced.

The boat must be a real bargain if you're willing to buy it without a mast.

Good luck. Call around to some boatyards to see if they have old aluminum masts around.

Hi Jul 76 .Good luck with your new yacht .The height of the mast is 281".

There are several Buccaneer boats. Make certain you find the right size mast for your Buccaneer. Is yours the model 295 that was made by Bayliner?

I saw one on craigslist for sale up in Oak Harbor for $2500 ready to sail/race.

Good luck in whatever you do but really do some research before buying a replacement mast otherwise rigging and sails will not fit properly.

Are you going to post here again? If so you might want to post in a different here in the advertisment section and say you want to buy a mast for a Buccaneer and see what your responses are.

If you do seize a mast, it's a lot cheaper than buying one!

a mast and rig for most Bucaneers is worth more than the boat can be sold for. Just a word of caution. Some Bucaneers did use good designs/molds, but the value still isnt there.

I just bought a new mast for my trimaran it's a 39' stick so it just fit inside a container. All up including delivery it was $14,000.

I would be very hesitant about buying an older used boat without a mast. By the time you get a new one onboard and rigged you very well may have spent multiples of what the boat is worth.

I scrapped one for the trailer. If you were a couple of months quicker. I gave 450 for it and got 460 for the keel. So my trailer was free except for raising the rollers and some lights. I have saw a few rough ones cheap. Check Craig's list.
