Well, the day after I get my centerboard fixed and installed, a nasty demasting ended up puncturing a hole in the side of my mast. (I wanted to throw the whole boat over the hoover dam when I saw the damage)



Luckily, my hobie mentor has located a replacement for (hopefully) not that much, so I'm wondering what to do with the old mast once I strip the hardware off of it. I was given the idea to try and take it to an aluminum recycling place. I was wondering how much it weighed, as this is one of the determinants of its value.



Another question is, what could I do with a broken mast? Is there anything useful that I could use it for?
