"Hi there!
I have contacted two companies, Aalco in the UK and a company here in Greece.
They both can supply me with 11m, 140mm outer diameter, 5mm wall thickness, alloy 6082, tempered T6 tubes.
Price seems reasonable but I need to take 8. I…"

"Thanks Dave! Could you please tell me more?

"Hi there.
Sadly I dismasted at sea with a Tiki 38 on my maiden trip. After talking to Hanneke Boon, I realised the mast steps were build for a Tiki 21 or 26 as the builder had build a Tiki 21 or 26 before.
As such, I am in the process of thinking…"
"Thank you so much, Krister. I have sent them an inquiry. Tony"
"Hi Tony,
Sorry for slow reply.
We bought the masts through Aalco in Southampton.
I will look for any contacts we used there if needed.
Cheers and happy sailing.
Krister"
"Hi Kirster and Phil
I am looking for some aluminium masts - can you share the details of the mill that you got to make these up for you?
Thanks! Tony"
"Hi Bill, I bought one off Krister which I haven't used, would consider selling it for what I paid or my wooden one which is perfect if I use the aluminium one."
"There are 2 x 20ft 5" dia tubes on Ebay at the moment £125 each I think. You could get them jointed. Mine were jointed in Colchester and are fine."
"Hi Krister, hi Phil.
It’s a long shot, but do you still have any of your alliminium masts left? I have a Tiki 31 and am in need of a mizzen.
Many thanks in advance. Bill"
"Hi Kristen, a longshot maybe, but do you still have any “masts” left? I have a Tiki 31, need mizzen 127mm at base. I’m in the U.K east coast. Thanks in advance. Bill."
"I've sent you an email Eamon with my details and we'll keep jn touch.
Cheers/Krister"
"Hi Eamon,
It makes sense because it's not that easy to source this, that's why we having it specially made and had to buy 10 of them.
And the price is good I think.
Have a good evening/
Krister"
"Hi Kristen, I might be interested. Planning on starting a Tiki 38 build in a year or so, so don't need them for a couple of years yet, but it might make sense for me to buy them from you this year whilst you have them."
"Hi all,
A bit of delay due to work and covid taking over our lifes...
I've just ordered masts so if anybody is interested we will have a few extra to sell due to minimum order.
Specs:
Grade 6082
Lenght 10 meters in one lenght
