Unusual?

Retrace steps and look for garden with fancy clothes pole which was not there on the way to pick it up. Shame that. Hope it didn't cause an accident.

Oops...I have various masts - any idea how long it was?

I too hope that an accident was not caused but it was only when I arrived home that I noticed.

Not sure how long it was, basically a scaffold pole about 6ft long. Otherwise the dinghy looks very sound.

I have a mast from my second beachcomber that you are welcome to borrow to get it rigged and sailing & for measurements.

Best Regards,

Nigel

It should be 2 inches diameter, 134 inches long, plugged at both ends with not sure what, but looks a man made material and pretty hard wearing. Top end has a 1/2 inch diameter hole through the tube and the plug for the top rope (hole centre is 1/2 inch from the top) and a bracket to attach the jib. Let me know if you want the use of one to get the boat on the water.

I have noticed a tendency to bend (& stay bent) in F6s+ so if you are sourcing something I would suggest bearing that in mind.

By the way, I have acquired a jib from a Pico. Size looks right but it is pink! At least it will give me an indication of what difference the jib makes.

Best Regards,

Nigel

Thanks for the info. You wanted the jib measuring which I will do this week.
