There are three ways that we can supply you with the mast system to suit your yacht. these are: |
| 1. Bare Mast Section 2. Kit comprising of bare Mast Section and everything else required to complete the fabrication. 3. Completely Fabricated Mast. |
| There are so many different ways to set a rig up that we need to discuss exactly what you want before we can give you a quote. Do you want spinnaker gear, do you want to mount your winches on the mast and many other questions need to be answered before we can give a full quote. Suffice to say though that for a 25 ft sail boat bare mast and rig costs are around $5,500. For a 35 ft sailboat bare mast and rig costs are around $12,500. For a 45 ft sailboat mast and rig costs are around $18,000 . These are Australian Dollars ex factory. |

 3.
Completely Assembled Mast. This mast is delivered completely finished,
ready to be stood and rigged. Nothing more needs to be done to it. Once again by ordering
ahead transportation charges can be shared. There is generally a run to Melbourne every
few months and a trip to Perth every four to five months or so. A mast can always be
freighted on
demand but transport costs are very expensive, especially on longer sections. A case
here of think ahead and save dollars. |
Standing Rigging can
be supplied with all stays and shrouds swaged at the head with the bottoms left 1ft longer
than necessary so as to be marked and swaged when the mast is stood |
 |
All wire of the correct diameter and length to suit your rig. Forestay, backstay, inner forestay if cutter rigged, all shrouds, running backstays if required, bob stay and whisker stay if your yacht includes a bowsprit all swaged at the head to suit your mast tangs and left free at the base to be swagged on site when the mast is stepped. To have the both ends swaged is inviting trouble. Two boats built to the same plan can often vary by quite a few inches and once hydraulically swaged there is no no room for errors. Every port has a swagger although if desired you can opt for Sta-lok fittings where all that is required is a spanner and a bit of muscle power. All rigging is 1 X 19 stainless steel. |
|
Whatever length and diameter 1 x19 316 Stainless steel wire plus all necessary Sta-lok terminals and you can do it all yourself. These fittings cannot be used with galvanised wire or any wire with a fibre core. They are just as strong as swaged type terminals.

1. The Bare Mast Section. We offer a bare section
for a variety of reasons. One is that it is the mast section that presents the
greatest difficulty and cost in shipping. If you are a long way from Queensland then
freight costs can often be reduced by fitting in with other people in your area that also
have ordered masts. Two is that many builders buy as funds become available to them. By
securing the mast section you are one step further to your dream. All fittings and rigging
can be shipped through normal channels when that stage is reached or if you have the
expertise and equipment then you could manufacture them all yourself..
