Sailboat Mast Problem

Ct Kid 31 May 2005 20:33:02
 My neighbor (not a Newsgroup reader) has a Marshall (1993) Sandpiper
sailboat. It has a pivoting mast. The physical joint, where the mast
pivots, recently broke.

I have tried innumerable Google searches to see if I could find a
source for that flex joint (not sure of the proper name for the part
that allows the mast to be brought down). He is expecting he will need
to buy a completely new mast.

Anyone know of less expensive alternatives. Most appreciative for any
advice.

Thanks

It's called the tabernacle.
Have you contacted Marshall?

If the foot of the mast is damaged, then yes. It seems likely to me that
unless the mast & tabernacle got *really* twisted all to hell, then the
mast shoudl be fine.
Anyone know of less expensive alternatives.

You mean one that would break more easily? Let me put it this way, if
the original part was barely strong enough, and broke (possibly through
mis-use) then why do you want to replace it with a cheaper (presumably
weaker) part?

You're welcome, although I'm pretty sure this isn't what you wanted to hear.

Try these people...

They supply a pivoting mast with their CL 16 and could probably give
some advice. Best to phone...they are very slow returning e-mail
requests...if ever.

 You don't mention what the tabernacle is made of. I recently broke the
aluminum unit on my Coronado 25 and was able to have the local welder repair
it quite nicely.
