Since I've broken Jurassic Karp's mast I need a replacement, its not super urgent but sooner than later its going to be high on the list....

But I have a question before I rush off with credit card in hand for a new section.

On the day it broke a couple of ex mozzie sailors told me to watch out on what I buy, specifically from the association and when I asked why here's the response I got.....

There's been a couple of series of mast sections sold by the association and the current lot isn't suitable for sloop setup because they are too soft and break far easier than the earlier series of sections that were available

Ok..... could just be a rumour or miss understanding, but I've now heard it from others aswell.....

is it true or false ????




Jurassic Karp will be sailed as a MK1, MK2 and with spinnaker so a fragile mast is NOT what I want to be wasting my shortening supply of cash on if I can track down a suitable and stronger 2nd hand mast....
