[quote=nofearofflying]The "smokies" FINS(Fire Island National Seashore Rangers) took issue with my sailing partners & I when we removed the masts from our cats( great idea all the boats survived) and left them over a dune in the swale while our boats road out Jose"s fury( the wind blew 40ks plus for 4 days and  literally the seas in the bay were ocean size all that period of time, so much so that  bay beach disappeared -over 80 feet by an1/8 of a mile and the dune eroded! no way to bring cats to nonexistent beach to raise our masts when the storm abated.   By the time we returned the next weekend the rangers had removed our masts ,with all the hardware and stays carefully taped to them, and cut them up!! And  recycled them! Now we are in search of replacements for  Nacra 570, Nacra 5.7 & Dart 18 masts hardware and stays.  Issue is are there masts  from other cats we can use?  I have a Nacra 5.2 and hobie 16 & prindle 16  masts but none will fill the bill. any ideas? does a hobie 18 mast work with a 570?  we could modify-we have the time our sailing season is effectively over  but for a rigged hobie 16.[email][/email][/quote]
