Hi Doug,
You never mentioned if you have the F-21 boom. If you don’t have one,
I just wanted you to know I have an original F-21 Boom for sale. It
is complete including aft chives, forward cheek blocks and other
items.
I also have main sheet blocks, vang blocks and all the lines. Let me
know if you are interested in any of the above
Good Luck in getting a new mast.

Clyde,
I called ForteRTS yesterday. I must have been important, because I
spoke to the OWNER, Tony. He was very helpful, knew exactly what a
keel
stepped F21 needed, and gave me a price (with shipping) that was
more
than $2,000 less than GMT Composites (the other main producer of CF
Masts). Max, you may want to put a link to ForteRTS on the .info
site.
I’m thinking of having one made during the ‘off season’ so that
it’ll be
ready and waiting when spring comes around and I have the gel coat
repairs and bottom paint done. There again, I’m also working on
getting
my AL mast finished with the info that Wilf Bishop sent me…
choices,
choices.
Tony said that ForteRTS was making a substantial number of CF masts
to
replace fatigued AL ones in the ‘Nonesuch’ boats. Just FYI. Thanks
again for your help and info.

I think I have seen some adds for an outfit that builds carbon
fiber
masts, etc. in “Messing About in Boats”, and promises reasonable
cost
I
don’t have access to my collection now. Clyde.

Hello one and all. I am now the proud owner of an F21. I believe
she is hull # 138 (HIN: TSP21 138M8 31). She’s a 1983 that’s in
overall very good condition with one major exception… her
mast is
broken. I got her for a song because of it, but now I’m finding
out
why the previous owner parted with her so readily. Does anyone
know
where I can get a used mast for the keel stepped version of the
F21?
I know that there’s a F21 for sale on E-bay right now, but that
would
only perpetuate the problem of having a boat without a mast.
I’ve
checked with some manufacturers (GMT Composites, for instance)
and
received an initial estimate in the $6,000 range from each of
them.
Can’t do that, have too many kids to send to college.
I’ve seen some photos of what looks to be an aluminum mast
inserted
through the deck that has a hinge in the middle of it. If you’ve
done this, please contact me and let me know how difficult that
was
and if you had to install any other stays (fore, aft, port,
stbd)
since the mast is aluminum and not CF. I’ve found that aluminum
masts are actually pretty easy to get (after posting on
CraigsList),
so that may be my best option.
I’ll get her cleaned up, fix the couple of voids in her gel
coat and
post some pics. I’ve read the posts from the last 8 months or
so,
y’all are a dedicated bunch! Thanks in advance for any help.
Fair winds and following seas,
Doug

Nick,
I’ve got the boom and sails. I’ll check in the near future (when I
finally get my 2 million other projects completed) what lines and
blocks I have/need. Thanks.
