Hello all,
I have a freedom 21 mast and boom available.
The mast has the horizontal cracks and the lower two rivets in the mainsail track are loose but it is complete with all fittings and has newish halyards.
I can provide pics and video if anyone is interested.
It is located in MA, south of boston.
thanks,
Dave
How much are you asking?
I would love to get 800 but we can talk.
It is an original Freedom 21 carbon mast and boom. There are visible cracks/crazing in the finish, but I have not had a composite spar professional certify whether they are cosmetic or structural.
I am selling it “as is”.
I checked the transportation to NY and it’s a bit iffy. So too much trouble for me just to have a spare mast. cracks are normal for these masts, its the gelcoat on the outside and basically cosmetic. What happened to your boat? Why getting rid of the mast?
I sold the boat and the buyer was anxious about the cracks and was planning to re rig her as a junk rig.
I have had the boat for over 5 years, and I don’t believe the cracks are much different than the day I bought her. I would sail with the rig without a second thought.
If you have a pickup truck or a friend with one (sorry, I don’t have one) I have found that one can rent a car transport trailer 22’ long (175.00 a day plus fees and taxes). I believe the mast to be a bout 30’ long and perhaps can hang a bit off the back and with a simple “A frame” at the front end so it can be elevated over the front of the trailer/back of the pickup.
Just a thought. In any case thanks for the inquiry and happy sailing. I think the freedom 21 is a great boat.
Wow, that is just weird (the new buyer idea). As far as transport, that is exactly what I looked into. A 16’ Uhall trailer (abt 24’ overall). Would be about 6’ overhang which still leaves some complications driving through 3 states. If I really needed a new mast, I would go for it 
I have a tabernacle mast in my boat.
He is a very experienced sailor and is hoping to sail until he is 85. He has a naval architect friend who is helping him with the new rig.
Please let any freedom 21 owners you know about the mast. It will be cut up in a few weeks if it doesn’t find a home. I sold my house and it must be removed.
ok, if there are no takers and you will be willing to just give it away, I could try to arrange pick up.
How many halyards does your mast have?
I hauled my spinnaker pole from Maine through NH and MA to the middle of NY on the roof of my Subaru.
Looks properly secured 
but we are talking about 30’ plus pole here. I have a 4runner which is about 15’ long (has a full roof rack) so i could probably brace it in a way that it will not move and take backroads on the way home. This will, however, create a 7’ overhang on both ends so the ride will end with the first trooper seeing me.
Dave, I sent you a PM
