Thanks Captain I checked on new mast......$700 plus $300 shipping! Is there anyway to just clean it? Without damage to anodize ? Maybe wax it? The Pelican looks great except for the bloches on the mast.

A spar shop will likely know a place that can do painting (there is an Westsail 26 near me, for example, that has a freshly painted mast - the owner likely had it done at Port Townsend Rigging or SEA Marine at Point Hudson). This is $$$. A painted mast on a trailered boat, or boat that is rigged/de-rigged often will quickly show wear, scratches and dings. Save your money and buy new sails - the #1 thing you can do to make the boat sail better. Or put the funds into the cruising kitty and take a long trip! :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/ On Fri, Nov 13, 2020, 10:45 AM Jim Sadler <jimsadler@jascopacific.com> wrote:
Thanks David
Not damaged
No extensive corrosion
Not bent
I is just 40 years old and now the Pelican is not berthed the garage, but in a slip in Oceanside harbor.
It just doesn’t look Bristol like the rest of the vessel

Jim:
Is the mast damaged? Is there extensive corrosion under the hardware? Has it been bent?
