I am in need of a Bimare 18HT carbon mast. If anyone has one that they want to sell, please send me a pm.

Is there a good story behind this need? Maybe with pictures? I am picturing catastrophic damage in 30 knots of wind, waves ripping the surface, etc. - of course, all caught on tape.

Sadly, no "good" story.

Last Tuesday night a thunderstorm picked up a i20 that wasnt tied down and cartwheeled it down the beach - it ended up 50ft away, upside down with a broken mast. The HT was tied down next to the i20 and suffered a broken mast and some small hull punctures, probably got "taken out" by the i20 as it flew by, if I had to guess. I'm betting the i20 got blown over and the wind got under the tramp and cover and launched it. Nothing else on either boat was damaged, which is hard to fathom.

Both masts broke at the same spot, above the spreaders and below the hounds, the i20 broke clean, the HT break is more compound, delaminated 24 inches in one direction.

There are pictures of the carnage, but you guys dont want to see it - way to painful.

He's going to keep the boat, he found a mast for it.

Bill,

Check with Matt at Vectorworks. The XJ mast tube and setup is identical to the HT.
