Had a rigger come down to look at some changes I was thinking of making and he called to tell me my mast was bent. Right up there where the inner forestay attatches to the mast there was a bend in the mast forward. He loosened everything up a bit to see if it would ease up, but to no avail. He finally went up the mast and could see some signs of bending there. A crease or crinkle perhaps. Said that the inner forstay on the CD30 has no opposing stay or running back stay up there to help take some of the load.
Two questions....
1) anybody out there have this same or similar experience?
2) in the event that I have to replace the mast, anybody have a recommendation on the best price in town on a mast for a CD30?
bummer huh?
