Serious Damage Last Year - Looking for help

Post by nestes106 »

I posted this in the technical forum as well as here. While on the mooring last year. My SuperCat 20 dismasted and sheared off the ball and bolt in which the mast rotates on from the forward cross member. As the mast fell it also completely destroyed gooseneck and forward portion of the boom. The photos I have of the cross member and boom are too large to upload here however upon request I would be happy to email. Im slightly lost as to the interior design on the cross member. Is it as simple as replacing the bolt or is much more complicated? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Call Tom at Aquarius. There is no aftermarket substitute for a mast step.
