[quote=Dogboy]Would need a little better description about the extent of the damage to say for sure, but if by “broke” you mean the comptip snapped off, then it’s done - you will need to replace it. If there is only minimal damage, then it could possibly be repaired if you’re experienced at working with fiberglass, but keep in mind, there is a lot of load on the mast and so sailing with a structurally compromised mast would be a significant gamble.
The reason for the comptip is that it is a safety feature implemented by Hobie back in the 1980’s resulting from numerous lawsuits involving sailors hitting powerlines with their masts. The Hobie 16 mast also uses a comptip.
