Re: quotes for composit mast sparrs and rigging

just wondering if the boat had a mast sail and deck riging plan before it was built<br /><br /> http://www.usspars.com/ <br /><br />there really is no such thing as a package the standing riging would have to be custom made for the boat as would the sails after the mast and boom and all the runing riging were installed<br /><br />it is a huge job to rig a sail boat deck from scratch<br /><br />tommays

Your friend could probably pick some sweet deals on spars from Florda. If you know the approximate diminsions of the spars (mast, boom et-al) check with insurance and boat salvage companies in Florida. He could pick up most of the stuff really cheap because there are a BUNCH of totalled yatchs around right now.

kelwendee, did your friend build the boat from scratch? most sailboats are designed with a sail plan.. In any case, unless he has deep pockets or is an avid racer, I would suggest a more conventional aluminum rig. the carbon fibre rig will put him in the poor house..
