    Many thanks Andrew, keep me informed on your mast making. Sounds feasible very interested in where you source your sections. Regards Simon

    Hi Simon. I'm in the early stages of converting a 20' Hunter Medina in Cornwall. I have struggled to find a one piece mast. The Norse Hydro company in South Wales looks like it might be going out of business so I'd be careful about transferring any money on a long lead time order. And the Hampshire company, who's name I forget are no longer making one off dinghy masts. So I am doing a three section mast, from decreasing diameter aluminium tubes. David Tyler and I are working separately on 3D printed joining and fairing sections which i think will make the joints more acceptable. I'm going to be sewing a split junk ring, which I hope will allow for minimal mast position movement. My biggest issue is lack of funds but I'm sure there's a way of doing it at minimal cost. My second biggest issue is how to step the mast at the beginning of the season. It was fairly easy with the original mast and an A frame but dropping a tubular mast accurately into a hole is too much for my understanding. Good luck with your project, looking forward to the details.
