My Bim2000 A-cat carbon mast broke in the lower section. I am concernted that it may take some time to get a new mast (I live in Slovenia). I visited a local Kayak factory that seemed very modern and professional. They had a 6m long vaccuume facility and felt that they could "repair" the mast.



This is attractive in that it could get me back on the water and off the phones quick. Especially if not so expensive.



1. Is a repaired mast useful at all?-- for practice or minor competitions, etc.

2. Any special tricks or requirements?

3. A new mast is 1 to 2 kilobucks here. When I get an estimate for a repair, at what price is a repair not worth it?



Thanks,



Matt
