    Posted for member Jes Bates:

    Am planning to convert my Corribee.  Seeking preferably a tapered aluminium mast, Old sail will serve as a pattern for a new one.  She's an early MkII Corribee, 1978 (i.e. no anchor locker at the bow). Possible sailing plans include Jester Challenges, more West Coast of Scotland exploration, Shetland, Faroes...last year I sailed round Britain.  

    NOTE FROM WEBMASTER:  A previous version of this active and useful thread was moved from Buy/Sell forum to Technical forum at the suggestion of a the original poster and another participant.  Please continue the technical discussion there and focus here on acquiring the mast/sail.  Cheers.

    Note from Webmaster: An anonymous member of the public emailed me with the following info:

    I noticed that someone on your forum was looking for a mast for a Coribee/Coromandel. Unfortunately, their account is anonymous
    so I can't contact them directly.

    There is an original one on an abandoned boat on the River Oare in Kent.  Unfortunately, I think the only way to approach it would be by water now.
    I know the story of the boat and it genuinely has been abandoned.
    Was there the last time I was down a month or so ago.

    There is a path on the east side of the river but I have no idea how 
    deep in the mud the boat is. If anyone goes down, check out
    The Shipwright Arms which is the orange marker nearby.

    I have also forwarded the email directly to Jes.
