    Default Wooden Mast (Adelaide western suburbs)

    A friend is clearing out the shed of their recently deceased father.
    In the rafters is a solid oregon(?) mast which they'd like to see go to a good home.
    4800mm long, base approx 110mm dia, tapering to approx 60mm
    It looks straight & the timber is in good nick - not splintering etc, but hasn't been on a boat in decades.
    Might be varnish over oil?
    Looks like it came off a traditional style of hull, probably gaff or gunter rigged.
    Galv fittings & stays seem solid, as does the bronze gooseneck.

    The estate is still being settled so there'd be some cost, but not onerous.
    If interested, PM me & I'll put you in touch.

    cheers

    Update - mast is long gone to a forum member.
    Leaving the thread for vague historic reasons, like, the mast was really old.
