TOPIC:

hello friends,
I'm seeking advice about masts. I'm looking to replace the mast om my Woof Mk2 6844 and wondered if the distance from the sheer line to the mast heal (16 inches on mine) is the same as that for new masts for the newer hulls from the likes of Ovington.

Plus does anyone have a Superspar M2 in good condition that they would like to sell?

Also any thoughts on what alternatives would work well in comparison to the M2? Anyone moved to the Cumulus or alto masts? what difference do you notice?

Many thanks

Hi Tim

I know where there is a good alto - I was thinking of acquiring it as a spare but your need is greater than mine I think. Email me if interested.

Cheers

I made a drawing of an M2 mast with all the length measurements
I used this when I order a replacement from Superspar M2 for my MkIII woof
I suspect the MKII and III have similar mast foot position
You are welcome to have the drawing if you want
Send me a mail to richard.smith@aesseal.co.uk and I will forward it to you


Good Sailing

Hi Richard,
I've sent an email but not sure if it has arrived at your inbox.
I think I have most measurements sorted but the key one, the really important one, is the distance from the sheer line to the mast heal. I'm measuring 400mm which is as much as 170mm less than some. I know that the mast step can be as much as 150mm above the hog but it still seems a lot shorter.
I just need to have a comparison and you drawing I hope will help.
Many thanks for you help.

Tim
