New Mast / Rigging

[Sulian]

Hi,

I have recently be given a derelict Trident 24 as a project. I have spoken to some members already about the boat and special thanks the Bob Doe for supplying numerous usful bits of information including various electronic copies of plans and back issues of the TOA magazine, and Chris Tabor who put me in touch with Mitch & Audrey (surname escapes me at present) who were kind enough to forward the oruginal technical drawings that he managed to obtain from Marcon when he built his Trident 40 odd years ago... extremely useful.

Anyway, to the point, amongst the many jobs that will need doing in what will in essance be a bare hull rebuild I think that I may well need to replace the mast & rigging, I understand from reading various articles that the triple keel is a little 'tender' and a heavily constructed mast won't be at all helpful.

Has anyone had to replace a mast recently, if so could you let me know who the supplier was, what was the end result, and if it is not being too nosey an idea of price would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Regards
Jon
