Mast Specs for \'69 Trintella 1a

I am trying to replace my mast and have been having a hard time finding any specs for an aluminum spar to replace my wood one. If anyone has or knows where to find mast specs (dimensions and wall thickness), and any other info such as LPS, static stability charts ect. It would be greatly appreciated.

I used to have a Trintella 29, is this the same hull?

Can not help with mast specs but would suggest you ask the professionals. Send boat details and rig dimensions to a number of spar makers and ask them to quote for a suitable mast. You could ask them to include the section spec in the quote so you can compare like with like. This worked well when I remasted a 42 ft sloop.

Yes, basically the same hull, on the 1a's the rudder was moved inboard instead of being transom hung.

All the mast outfits I have spoken with so far aren't equipped to actually work out the mast requirements from the hull, but instead just apply a mast that seems best from their history and experience in putting masts on boats. In the end, they probably put the same stick on numbers or not, but i am interested in knowing the details as well as getting a mast in place.

There are no details on your profile - but if you are West Country, you are welcome to come and look at mine.

I am out in Seattle WA, US.
And seem to be the only Trintella for a 1000 miles or so.
