365 mast

[peislander]

I need a new mast for my ketch rigged 365, any suggestions?

Main or Mizzen? Why does it need replacing?

I was cruising along the south coast of Newfoundland, about 8 miles off of Burgeo, when the port side top shroud on the main mast let go at the turn-buckle. The mast snap off, just below the spreaders. With my stubby main mast my 365 ketch now looks like a minature schooner. Thanks for the website.

I would start with Rudy at DR Marine - he is very knowledgeable and VERY helpful. He purchased a lot of the parts, drawings, and records when Pearson went out of business. His website is only marginally useful but he is a great guy talk with... Who knows what he can get his hands on or who he will recommend.

You might try Rig Rite - some boat left the factory with Kenyon spars.... These guys are knowledgeable - but expensive and a little short.

Thanks for this Garner. I'm talking with my insurance adjuster tomorrow and after that I'll have a better
idea where I stand. I'll definitely give your suggestion a call and see what they recommend.
Again, thanks
