dented mast

[rbuehn]

This is concerning a 44' Allyacht mast 7"x5" oval. The boat is a Corsair F31 trimaran. The mast was damaged by a flying concrete roof tile during hurricane Charlie in 2004. It was lowered on deck at the time. The boat has not been used nor the mast stepped since then. The dent is roughly half way up the mast between the spreaders (double spreader rig). The dent is about 1/8" deep.

Is this mast shot or can it be sleeved or otherwise repaired? Sleeving method or other repair procedure requested.

Thanks,
