There are
replacement masts (and booms) available from the Catalina
Factory (just call them) and from an aftermarket supplier, www.catalinadirect.com. Or any
competent local rigging shop can make one for you.
It depends
on where you live, since the cost of shipping can be
prohibitive. If you're patient, the factory can ship you a new
mast next time they ship a boat out your way.
The fin
keel on the tall rig C27 and standard rig is the same depth. There's
no difference in draft. I've seen dozens, maybe hundreds, of
C27 on stands in boatyards.

I just became the "caregiver" for Cat 27 # 6115.
She was damaged during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. She lost her rig
and lifelines as well as some F'glass damage along the gunnels aft. Other
than that she came thru pretty good, there was no water in the interior and the
low hour Universal and the rest of the "systems" are in perfect
order.
I made a "pretty good" deal on her (to give you an
idea, I renamed her "Gratis".)
My question is; Whose spar did Catalina use on
these boats and what section?
I plan on doing some casual racing (the PHRF #
is to good not to abuse.)
What I'm thinking of doing is; Making her a "tall
rig", w/out the sprit, and making up for the lost sail area by lowering the
boom, so to speak.
Also, I see on the Cat 27 site that a tall rig has
a 10" deeper keel, is this true? If so is it the same shape, just
deeper?
Any thoughts, opinions will be
welcome.
Mark, "Gratis" Cat 27, # 6115
