Anyone have an extra Nacra 5.7 mast? My 5.7 was stored for winter under a pavilion and a tree landed on the pavilion and broke / bent the top of the mast. Are there any other Nacras that have the same mast length and would be suitable to swap?
Thanks,
Eric

I could see that working for a motivated sailor from NH. You guys just need to work out logistics...pickup and payment.

nofearofflying, I might also be interested in parts (not the mast). I'll check your listings in classified.

Edit, did not find the ad. How much for rudders?

Nofearofflying, I sent you a PM. Very interested in the mast. You said you won't be back till 4/1/2022 - did you mean 4/1/2021 ?? Spring of '21 would be perfect for me to pick up the mast. Please send me a PM and let's talk price.
Thanks,
Eric

Look at Dwyer masts. They had a section that was very close to the Nacra/Prindle section.

I am going to go with nofearofflying's Nacra 5.7 mast. Thanks for the responses, this is an awesome resource for those of us sailing 25+ year old catamarans. It was an awful feeling, seeing your mast bent under a tree. I am relieved to know there is hope to sail again next summer!

PM Sent to nofearofflying re: rudders

Squamcat, that tree had no mercy. At least the rear beam was spared.

please email me at shawesq@gmail.com or better call my cell 917624696 so we can make arrangements-if you view parts for sale SAILS u will see what was my N5.7,(my nephew not me in photo) same sail color as yours and thats the mast, save your old mast it can be a great flag pole and we may need the spreaders etc. i also have a N5.2 mast "complete" so i have all parts on that one, if anything not affixed to 5.7 mast
