Mast Splicing

[PaulM]

All,
I'm thinking of buying a project boat that was demasted just above the gooseneck. The mast suffered little damage. The standing rigging, mast wiring and spreaders will need replacing. My options for the mast are to buy a complete mast section and transfer the fittings or splice the mast. Is splicing a aluminum mast an acceptable repair?

Thanks
Paul M
