I have broken my mast. What are the best sources, both new and used, for a replacement?

Ho boy.... The mast is really the Achilles heel of our relatively cheap little Daysailers. Short answer - if you are within a day or two drive of Assonett, Mass, then go buy one from Dr Marine/Rudy. If you can't pick it up though, then shipping will cost more than the mast, possibly more than your boat. Which brings us to option two - buy a beater DS off Craigslist or whatever, just for the mast! Occasionally, you'll see posts from folks selling just a mast, I think there's one guy in Louisiana selling one, and one guy in extreme Northern NH. Truly no good options, sorry. Only good news I can give you is that any DS mast will fit any variant of DS. But you will have to scrounge....
