Doesn't it depend on the terms of the insurance? I know that some dinghy policies have "new for old" cover.

Yes it does.
My old Bishop Skinner dinghy policy had new for old on it, but that is not or was not standard on all dinghy policies, I assumed if the OP had new for old cover on sails and spars he would have indicated so

Thanks everyone. I put it through my insurers and they have settled as a total loss, allowing me to buy back the remains for £300.
My praise to GJW for settling promptly without quibbling.

Start scouring the Finn association website for a suitable mast.

Is it a Finn?
I know a few Finn boys, they would probably help.
There is a market in used masts, but people in a class association will often be persuaded to sell something if it gets another boat on the water, even if they hadn't been thinking of selling it.

I did get a quote for a mast repair but it's at least 50% of the value of the boat so maybe not worthwhile doing. I'll get in touch with the association to see if I can buy a mast or maybe sell the hull which is in excellent nick for its age.

Not having a lot of luck with the Finn association. You have to get a password by email to get onto their forums but after 3 requests they still haven't sent me one, maybe because I'm not a member.

You could try their facebook page?

Why not join? The subs must be piffling compared to a carbon mast. Plus you could do the European Champs in Athens.

Boat will be easier to transport without a mast, so buy or borrow a mast in Athens
