I'm not saying its never been done, but I've never, ever seen a mozzie mast with another set of spreaders. That is strange.

You can buy a new mast from the association, around $250.00, don't know how you'll go finding a secondhand one, usual reasons for buying new one, is their either like what you've got or already broken.

If you rig up a new one, leave off the top spreaders, don't need em. And ask on here, theres lots of neater fittings and ideas for fitting out masts nowadays.

I'd forgotten about this til now but back in about 1996, I was working at Horizon Sailmakers, and went over and checked out Altona Yacht Club, I was talking to a few guys there and they offered to keep my boat the boatshed, while the paperwork was sorted. I had a new mast, and was asking Bob Wilson about fitting it out, when I told him the mast actually one of the original association masts and about 20 years old (but never fitted) he offered me a new mast and the money to buy another one (and to me that was the deal of the year) needless to say I accepted.
