I need a new Mast Cap! Make or buy?

Post by SailingontheRiva »

Hey everybody! We have gotten more snow here in Virginia since weather records have been kept so I cannot wait for spring! I was reviewing my 1998 :macx: in storage the other day and noticed that the mast cap has come off. Has anyone tried to make one of these? I looked on BWY, but didn't see anything. Thanks!

BWY may not list on their website every little piece they carry, but they do carry the mast cap for the 26M because I bought one last summer when I was down that way. If they carry one for the M then perhaps they carry one for an X, try phoning Gail and ask, she can mail it, they cost very little.
