Hi Everyone,
just thought I'd ask around to see if anyone has ever replaced a Mast/Boom on an Ericson 35? I've replaced a lot of stuff on my '79 Ericson to include ...
Teak handrails
Teak cockpit cowlings
Main Sail
Jib Sail
rub railings
Lifelines
Running Lines
headliner
all covers and cushions
Main Sail Bag with lazy Jacks
And now the original Mast and Boom are really showing their age and peeling paint. looks like the original owners - I'm the 3rd owner did some touch up painiting that is starting to show it's age as well.
Just wondering if anyone has ever
A) taken their mast down and had it painted or annodized professionally, or
B) replaced it (I'm sure this is expensive and I'm not sure even where to start to purchase a new mast/Boom.
just thought I'd ask if there was some advice to be given out there.
