Aluminium mast

[Rui Sérgio Cardoso Fonseca]

Hi, first i want to congralute the website forum.

I'm a portuguese guy that build a tiki30 and now wants some help with the mast. My mast, made of wood, has problems and got bad.

My idea is follow some tips and made an aluminium mast.

I will need a 6082 T6, with 9,5 mters, and 140mm diameter, but it's been really hard to find it in Portugal...

Can anyone please guive some dealers or tips to find an economical aluminium mast?

 

Thank for all

Sergio,

If you can find shorter sections, they can be put together successfully with a sleeve of the same material. I recently used such a sleeve to repair my mast. I have a drawing of the method and a formula for the sleeve's length:

If I was looking to sell it I'd let the lot go for 400 Euro, but to be honest I'd say shipping it to Portugal would cost more than the purchase price!
