I was dismasted

Hi,
And first ow, ow, ow. So sorry to hear about that. What you went through qualifies as an adventure, from where I'm sitting (adventure: someone else in a lot of trouble, not where you are). Some of the best sparbuilders I know are right here in Point Hudson. Be in touch if I can make referrals. You can get a spruce mast of comparable weight to an aluminum one, if you engineer it right. And of course it will be beautiful.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
