Contemplating purchase of Catalina 30 demasted in a storm. Looking for specifications of mast/mast manufacturer/used mast that will work (e.g., will a Hunter 30 mast work?). TIA for any information. Located on Lake in Texas.

Try calling Catalina on Monday. They’ll know who made masts for them. RigRite is another source worth checking out. A rigger would be able to find the lengths of the two masts and tell you if a Hunter or other mast would work, though the height of the gooseneck might not work out.

there was a catalina 30 mast for sale on Craigslist in OKC just like last week…for 3 hundred something. but I just looked and don’t see it listed now.
I have an extra Hobie 16 mast you can have for free.

Look at the data sheet for your Catalina 30 yacht and record the measurements: I; P; J; E; SAF; SAM; SAT; Fore stay length.
Search the Internet or read a book that teaches you what they are, what they mean, and how to use them.
Compare them to the measurements of a yacht mast you may want to search for on recycling offers or present them to a mast maker.
