repair on sailboat mast
does anyone have information on getting parts to repair the base of the mast where it hinges to fold down, on a 25ft HELM sailboat. The mast is 30ft tall and the hinge point is broken where the hinge bolt goes through. It is for my brother in Florida, Yep....... he dropped it while taking it down. I don't know much about sail boats and am trying to help him out.

Being at the base, it could be repaired by welding in all probability.
Take it to an aluminium fabricator. Terry K |

as the other guys said.. remove it and take it to a metal fabricator to
repair or replace. Then replace with the new one. Remembering lots of silicone sealant through the deck bolts to prevent leaks. Also check the base of the mast for damage too. One small crack could lead to disaster.
