MANUFACTURERS
We have to-date used masts from "Annapolis!
Spars" (#7) and are entirely satisfied. However,!
considering the value of the French franc, it becomes!
interesting to consider "Iso-Masts" (#50) made in France.!
Moreover, the mast is exceptionally well designed and the!
technology used to build it has no equal on the North-!
American market.!
WIRING AND MESSENGERS
When ordering your mast, make sure you order it!
with wiring tubes and messengers for the electrical!
wiring as well as for the halyards.!
FINISH!
As for the finish on the mast, it should!
ideally be anodized but, if this is impossible, a good!
acrylic or epoxy paint will do. Some companies, such as!
"Annapolis Spars" deliver the mast in two sections. This!
is not a problem. When it is properly re-assembled, it!
will not be a cause of worry. We also prefer to order the!
shrouds, stays and turnbuckles from the makers of the!
mast.!
p) SAIL LOCKERS!
WATERTIGHT
Two important things must be taken into consideration about the sail lockers. First, when
completed, they must be perfectly watertight with regards to the interior of the boat. Make
sure that the bulkhead that separates the sail lockers from the interior of the boat be 100
% watertight with the inside. Even the very high corners on top under the teak cap rail.!
