I don't think I knew Stan owned the IMF extrusion.  Learn something every day. - rob

Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] IMF Mast Assembly Needed

Contacting Stan is the only way to go since the IMF extrusion is owned exclusively by Stan and he is the only one who has the masts made.  Dwyer was the supplier for the standard rig.  Unfortunately, you will probably need a number of items including the tube that the sail attaches to and possibly a sail repair.  So sorry for the damage, but fortunately, this can all be fixed.

 Ouch.  I assume we're talking about an IMF mast.  I've always assumed that these were manufactured by Dwyer (<http://>www.dwyermast.com <http://www.dwyermast.com/>).  I doubt they can sell you one, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.  I'm guessing the company recently changed ownership, since they moved from Connecticut to Bristol, RI, so if you do call, they may have no idea what you're even talking about.

If you're forced to go with a non-IMF mast, then I'm pretty sure Dwyer could sell you something suitable.

Please keep the group informed about how this turns out.
