Not mine, but a freedom 33 cat ketch owner in Alaska is scrapping his boat and is offering the carbon fibre masks for free. Sounds like a great deal for someone in North America, even including shipping.

Free but you will have to pay for the shipping from Alaska. I usually use a barge company from Tacoma to Anchorage. Actual dump run (scrapping) will not happen till May”

I'd like to ship that mast to Brisbane, Australia, as it would be ideal for ARION II, (12m by 200mm), but I believe it would need to go in a container and cost anywhere between $3000 and $10,000. Pity it could not just squeezed in somewhere, given how little space and weight it represents! I guess I will have to just keep looking. Sourcing a modestly priced mast is going to be the biggest hurdle to my conversion prospects. I was going to send the guy a message anyway but could not get onto the Freedom website.
