Laminated wooden mast

Audun · #1 05-21-2006, 07:45 AM

I have an 85' wooden ketch with 2 28m high masts in solid wood. They have now got patches of rot and need to be replaced. I am considering going for laminated masts. Does anybody out there know where I could get some? And does anybody have any experience with laminated masts of that size?

I have no experience of wooden masts of that size myself but if I needed some I would contact Spencer rigging in Cowes.

Talk to Doug. We have worked together in boat restoration and I highly recomend him. He works for one of the maritime museums in Norway.

Thanks for the tips. Will try Spencer rigging in Cowes and the Doug in a norwegian maritime museum if I can find him. You woulden't happen to have an email or a more specific location for him, Gonzo?
