Help!!! I am trying to find a wooden replacement mast for a old SNIPE homekit boat that belongs to a 80+ yr old sailor, he is trying to donate the boat (in great shape, fresh water sailing only) to a therapy sailing association for disadvantaged kids & adults (DogSmileAdventures, Coeur d Alene, ID). Unfortunately, he busted the original wooden mast when he was storing the boat for winter last fall. I am trying to locate replacement mast so he can donate the boat to them. I have had no luck in finding a used wooden mast for the older SNIPE, and have been informed the older Windmill 15.5 may use a similar mast. Any leads on a potential mast or more informed advise would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help, Russ Tucker 208-255.9048
