Mark, Give Holland Marine a call, they bought all the spare parts when the CS factory shut down and built their CS 36 from some of the parts. They may be able to help you source a new spar section and you can have all your existing fittings swapped over from your old mast.

Landed on a lower level rack and dented the side of my mast - several feet above the gooseneck. Dent is maybe 5cm long and 3cm wide - max depth of about 3mm. Met with insurance surveyor today - he is suggesting a few options - weld aluminum to the side of the mast, cut mast and install a sleeve, find a used CS 30 mast or similar and replace or replace with a new mast. Apparently the sleeve option would cause a stiff spot in the mast and make it harder to trim well for racing (which I don't do - but don't want to devalue the boat in the repair). Not sure about the weld option. No immediately available used CS 30 masts locally. Insurance has a set upper limit of $22500 on the boat - so write off is a possibility if they can't repair or find a used option. Anyone have any experience? Advice? Know of any random CS 30 masts lying around??? Mark -- _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
