Reply to: Help, need H18 mast in CT… got screwed

[quote=klozhald][quote=shortyfox]This might be a really dumb idea, but if the damage is only four inches above the mast step and you cannot locate another mast at a reasonable price, could you shorten your mast four inches? [/quote] I like that you think out of the box, but in this instance to shorten the mast would be expensive and problematic on several levels. * The sails - both - would be affected because you would have to shorten [b]all three stays [/b] to accommodate the change. * New stays and modified sails are expensive. probably MUCH more than a used mast. * This would also cost you critical space [u]under[/u] the boom for tacking and general boat movement. * It will also critically reduce the space needed for your mainsheet blocks, putting you in a dangerous two-blocked situation where you simply cannot control the mainsail anymore.[/quote]
