Re: bent mast

Below is my thread about my bent mast.

Can you post a photo?

My advice, start shopping now, and be patient, a deal on a mast will come up.

Re: bent mast

Hello Mark, "creased at the top" is a very unusual type of mast problem. If the mast has a bend in it, it may be possible to just re-adjust the rigging to straighten the mast. A "crease" sounds like you need a new mast or you need to do some surgery on it.
