Spare Mast?

I was wondering if anything knew of a spare mast laying around or a boat that may be beyond repair with a decent rig. We had a lower stay break in some big breeze and the mast broke in half at the spreaders. Please let me know if anyone is aware of something. Thanks!

Re: Spinnaker Launching

Larry, Not sure if you remember me, but I was a regular on Mouse with Jim Henry, but sailed on Sea Turtle 2 in the Fall and Spring Regatta when I was there. Really took a liking to the 7.9 then and finally found 107 and my dad scooped it up. I was excited when I found out it was the old Pirate and c...

Spinnaker Launching

My dad has recently purchased #107. After sailing it the last few months, we have noticed that our spinnaker sets always seem to be terrible. I sailed 7.9s when I was in Florida a few times and never seemed to remember the problem. We launched the chute out of the companionway from a bag that was ha...
