#301 would be one of mine, and would be a Sparcraft 104 section. Early in my career I bought interest in the extrusion die, after Sparcraft had gone out of business, and bought the masts directly from the extruder, 1,000 pounds at a time. Later, when Vagabond came out with a 17, Ron Holder and I made purchases together, buying 3,000 lbs, which got a better price. That's when I changed the length of the 17 mast from 21' 2 1/2" to 21'4"; Ron's boat had a fractional rig, which needs a longer mast, so we compromised.

I'm trying to identify the spars used on the boat, and finding it less than trivial. Does anyone on this mailing list have any hints or guesses? I've been idly considering the standing rigging, thinking about where and how I would add something like spinnaker pole parts ( ring/track & topping lift ), and thought of my warped old boom, and started browsing and guessing, but curious what kind of parts I might be able to find that were made for the spars. I haven't found anything that specifically says what spars were used, and I haven't stumbled across any parts that looked particularly like what I have onboard.
