new masts
I was just wondering if somebody could tell me, where to get and how much a new mast section is please. And whether or not they are anodized or natural finish.

Thanks Matt

Re: new masts
Your local state division will have stock of masts, booms, spinnaker poles and Stiffeners , have a look on the contacts page and contact either the president or stockist. They will also be able to help it with setting up the mast.

The G-James section we use in QLD is clear anodised. You are welcome to paint or anodize your mast any colour you wish (as long as your 'black bands' are clearly visible)

Good Luck

Re: new masts
The bands shall be clearly discernabled whilst sailing, not less than 20mm wide. There is no requirement for the bands to be black.

Re: new masts
Are stocks of masts still available at the Vic Association/ East Kew? Is there a number I can call?
