Hi everyone!
My father and I are windsurfers, but are completely new to beach cats. After seeing a couple small hobie cats sailing around here in destin, fl my father and I decided we had to get in on the action.
Yesterday we purchased a 1983 G-cat 5.0, but unfortunately broke a few parts towing her home. (mast ripped off the foot/pictures below)
For the bottom of the mast, we thought of riveting a strip of aluminum around it.
Is this the best way of going about repairing it?
Also, could anyone please recommend to us how to possibly find another mast foot w/ rotator and boom end cap for this cat. (attaches to gooseneck) (pictures below)
Really looking forward to getting her moving on the water again!
Please, any insight would be extremely valuable to us as we are new to all of this.
Thank you all,
Nick
