The above two should be ok for the replacement right - shrouds on the boat are 19ft and the forestay at 18.7

It will be close. I have a few local rigging companies here that can build them exact and ship to you. I would recommend against the vinyl coating. It looks nice for about 6 months, but it will hold water inside the wire and will expedite the deterioration of the wire. Go with bare wire.
May check eBay for a Nacra mast base. There is a local guy in Dickinson that stockpiles old parts and may have one. Let me see if I can find his website, all I have is a phone number.[/quote]
I looked on the ebay for Nacra mast base but none found at present. I will try craigslist too. Tried Facebook Marketplace but none there. I found a new one on murray's for about 130 or so. Will it fit the base of the mast I have though! Don't even know what mast I have :-)
Becoming more complicated by the minute for a newb :-)
But thanks to all the help[/quote]
Fair enough. To measure the mast, get a caliper or good eyeball and tape measure. You'll measure the fore/aft and the side/side. For simplicity, the OD will work as one can measure the OD of both masts and see how close from there. The wall thickness of the two masts will be close, probably +/- 1/16". I will be at an event this weekend where I can measure a 16 mast and a Nacra mast. I believe the old Nacras, 5.2, 5.0, 5.7, 5.8 and 6.0 use the same mast base. I can take some #s and let you know.[/quote]
I have a calipers, so I can measure both inner and outer as well as the thickness tomorrow. If you get a chance and can measure that will be a great help too.
