JRA does not typically promote or recommend service providers or manufacturers, but availability of masts is often a topic of conversation on our website.  So we were interested to see an advertisement for a specialist wooden mast makers, in France, called Woodspars, and decided to ask them a question on your behalf:  here’s the email conversation:

JRA asked

Many of our members convert boats to junk rig or even build their own boats and the availability of masts,
Yards and the sturdy battens we use is often an issue.   Can you give me a description of your range of services and costs?  For your information, a junk rig boat typically has a tapered free standing keel stepped mast in aluminium or wood or composite

Thanks for this opportunity. 

We are wooden masts makers and we can build every design you need. 

Actually our brand are shipping masts to many different countries. We have facilities in logistics solutions. 

I can not give you a catalog or products price list. Because we have only custom project. 

We can provide a rough estimate easily if you have base diameter and length.

For example,  a 10m douglas fir lamellae mast,  180-100cm (sic) tapered. Turned and sanded. Cost around 3200€ exc VAT and delivery. 

I present this simply as useful information in case of assistance to any of you.
