Subject: windmill mast and boom
Info: (17703 views) Posted: Thursday 3-10-11 06:46:12 PM
i hope to use it to teach my daughters how to sail, and to hopefully participate in windmill events. i have never raced before and have limited sailing experience so it would be a learning experience for all. the boat did have a wooden mast, but would be interested in the most economical replacement. I suspect the rest of the rigging would need to be replaced so that may not be an issue. I have a weel equiped woodworking shop. is it reasonable to try and build mast myself? there are no hull numbers that i have found. the sail number is 3438.
