I'm new to the forum and having difficulty even trying to post a question. I ended up here, so here goes. I have a 76 DSII and recently broke my mast. I have found a mast and rigging from a 67 DS. Will a 67 mast fit a 76? Also, I am concerned about the age of the mast. It's 55 years old. Does the metal degrade over time? Will I have to make modifications on the 67 mast?
That mast is 4 years younger than the one on my boat.

I'll let others supply more details here.
