Your best bet is definitely going with a domestic source. Call up Ben Hall and see if you can get set up. Shipping a single carbon mast anywhere right now is a killer, and going to get worse here pretty quick with $4 Diesel.

Another option is to call Fiberfoam (sit down before they give you the price, they deal in Euros) and see if anyone is going to have a load of rigs shipped here anytime soon. Usually, several sailmakers, sparbuilders, boatbuilders, and retailers will get together and buddy up on a shipment. We all keep in communication about potential import options. I don't know of any right now for those of us on the West coast, but that doesn't mean there's nothing going on in the east. You may want to call your local performance boat builders, riggers etc and see if they know of anything.

If you go with an offshore source, plan on missing this sailing season just to be safe. With the Department of Homeland Security checking everything, I have had shipments from AUS delayed several months.

Everyone's pricing looks accurate, between 5 and 7 G's all said and done.

Also, check out the US Acat site, you never know what might pop-up.

Hope that helps!
