So there is a complete boat here minus a mast and cross beams. I am not buying stock parts from down under due to shipping costs. Cross bars are both round at contact region. Any suggestions for donor boats? Stock mast is 31 feet.
The kevlar hulls are so light!
I won't run this in any OD events, so a frankenboat is ok.
If there are 5.7 parts around, I would drive a long way for them.

Why not go for a Tornado mast? Round beams are easy to build by yourself, 4” or 100mm. Do like Macca and build with 10 ft beams.
