<p>My wife and I are planning an early retirement now that our daughter is no longer at home. I was wondering if any couples had experience sailing any of the boats mentioned in the subject line. I know they are on the large size, but it will be a full time live aboard and I will be working on it for awhile, so we will need extra space.<br/> Thank you,<br/> Cos</p>

<p>Hi All.</p>
<p>Advice needed.</p>
<p>Have just rebuilt my back wooden mast, bottom 2.4 meters was rotten, it's a long story and i will post the rebuild images online and description soon. The results are great !</p>
<p>Have just got to the stage were I am about to put the finishing coats on when I find that there are many 20 meter lengths of 200mmOD, 10mm wall aluminum extruded pipe lying a few hundred meters away that the marina management would like to get rid of.</p>

<p>Hi All.</p>
<p>Advice needed.</p>
<p>Have just rebuilt my back wooden mast, bottom 2.4 meters was rotten, it's a long story and i will post the rebuild images online and description soon. The results are great !</p>
<p>Have just got to the stage were I am about to put the finishing coats on when I find that there are many 20 meter lengths of 200mmOD, 10mm wall aluminum extruded pipe lying a few hundred meters away that the marina management would like to get rid of.</p>
<p>Questions I have are:</p>
<p>My masts are a heavy meranti, and reasonably stiff.<br/>Would I need to stiffen up the aluminum masts?</p>
<p>Does anyone have the Wharram mast size chart and can tell me whether 200mm ond 10 mm walls are suitable for a 15m mast.</p>
<p>Any past negative experience with aluminium masts?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards</p>
