help needed with ghost 13

[rneaul]

I have a Ghost 13 made by Jenkins. The mast cap (?),where the main halyard runs through the block, has deteriorated to the point where it needs to be replaced. Herein lies the problem, since the boat is no longer manufactured, I cannot find a replacement. Does anyone know where I can get this part?

Thanks

you'll need to measure the cross sections you should be able to find something that works.

look for something that will fit at dwyermast.com

I used to have one of those boats. It was pretty fun, and very adjustable with the centerboard possitions, although my centerboard never stayed put.

Good luck, that is a fun little boat. I once did 3 days of island camping on Lake George in NY with a girlfriend on it.

Be careful of the upper portion of the rudder, mine snapped a mile out from shore one time. That is the only thing that actually broke on mine, but it was very easy to replace that small top piece out of 3/4 cdx plywood. And since I stored the rudder indoors, it lasted just fine, untill the next owner left it out in the weather for a couple years and my repair section rotted.

Rneaul,

My ghost 13 also needs a new mast cap however, I am not near where it is stored. Do you have the measurements for the cap and have you already found someone that sell them? Thanks
