Etap 20

[Simonbarton]

Hi I have recently purchased a 20ft Etap but it has a snapped mast. It is a 4.8mtr mast, would anyone be able to suggest whether it was able to be repaired (It is also bent) or better still have a secondhand mast approximatly this size?

Many thanks Simon

It is possible to sleeve a mast but personally I would not do it. The problem you may be faced with a second hand mast is rigging. Existing rigging may not fit the mast fittings. You may also have to change the mast step… It may be worth contacting a rigging fitting firm. They sometimes have second hand masts or may be able to help with the whole project. Worth asking.
