My son and I finally got the Nacra ready to sail, been waiting weeks for the weather to improve here in N.W. FL. After practicing stepping the mast and raising sail (and trapezing in the yard while the neighbors made faces), we finally get some clear weather, get the boat to the beach, get a little rushed, and wind up catching the diamond wire on the tiller crossbar while raising the mast *SNAP*...

Murrays has them on back order, but we want to go sailing. Anyone have a spare, adjustable or otherwise? This one is completely shot, or I'd try reinforcing it. Or, does anyone have the specs and a good source for raw tubing?

Thanks,

Jason R.

Try starboard marine in pcb. All you need is a tube, any metal supplier can get it as well. I had my 5.8 on the water there just last week.

If they don't have it try a shop that makes tuna towers for boats. They will be able to supply you.
