Reply to: build / buy H18SX mast????

Message body

[quote=shipchips1]Hey guys, I am looking to put a new set of Whirlwind sails on my  81 H18. I am buying new sails I would like to have the longer mast, just not that much more money for the taller sails. I have SX wings on it with all the proper cross beam and shroud reinforcement and no soft spots, and I would like to put an SX mast on it. So other then buying a new $2200 stick, what are my options?

I have thought about finding a good used H16 mast and put a comp tip on it to get me to the right height. Then of course all the other rigging for the 18 - diamond wires, mast hounds, etc....

or look for a good used SX mast, is that even an option???

or can I find a 30 ft all aluminum mast that will work on the H18?

I will be rigging a spinnaker in the future as well.

just looking for some ideas.

Thanks
Jim

PS: I am willing to trade the H18 mast with the comp tip, that I have for the larger SX mast (I don't know why anyone would want to, but nothing ventured nothing gained).[/quote]
