When a friend dismasted his Catalina 28 the insurance company offered basically the same thing. He found and modified the rigging of a mast that came off (I think) a J24 or J29 at a huge discount to new. He used the rest of the money to have a professional glass monkey fix issues relating to the dismasting and had a ton of other work done - all buried within the repair bill.
The trick was finding a suitable used mast. I searched Kijiji for 'Masts' in British Columbia and found this. Ironically this is about a 30 minute drive from my home. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-boat-parts-trailer-accessories/cranbrook/sailboat-sails-mast-anchors-and-more/1275079682?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true [https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/oHsAAOSwXXxZSefO/$_20.JPG]<http://www.kijiji.ca/v-boat-parts-trailer-accessories/cranbrook/sailboat-sails-mast-anchors-and-more/1275079682?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true> Sailboat sails,mast, anchors and more | parts, trailers, accessories | Cranbrook | Kijiji<http://www.kijiji.ca/v-boat-parts-trailer-accessories/cranbrook/sailboat-sails-mast-anchors-and-more/1275079682?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true> www.kijiji.ca mast, anchors, bumpers and sails. all off a 34 foot coronado. make me an offer. all in good shape. lots of other bits and pieces. ________________________________ From: Danny Haughey <djhaug...@juno.com> Sent: Friday, July 14, 2017 11:14 AM To: Dave S via CnC-List Subject: Re: Stus-List Update to Broken Mast have you considered looking for a used mast?

I met with the Torresen Service Representative and the Insurance Adjuster yesterday. Autoowners has stated they will authorize repair up to the agreed to value of the boat ($24,000). Torresens is starting the estimating process. They are leaning the new mast approach. The break is pretty rough, so a repair might need to shorten the mast at least a little. Right now, the list of known items is: Mast Head Stay (we had to cut it to get the rig stabilized) Bulkhead Repair Wind instrument head Navigation/Anchor/Strobe Light Main Sail Track (mine was external T track) Repair Jib (we had to cut the #6 luff tape off to get Jib off) Repair Main (we had to cut slides off to get main stowed) Roller Furler (my Harken MK III foils may not be available. The furler is OK). Separate from the insurance claim, I will have them reinforce the port upper chain plate and the mast collar didn't separate from the Spartite when they pulled the mast. It appears that there is some wet core around the partners. I have them dig out the wet stuff and fill it with epoxy. I'll keep the list informed as to resolution.
