Nick Mitchell Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Who manufactures aluminium mast extrusion in Australia. Google has failed to reveal actual manufacturers or even distributors. Making up a new mast seems a pretty straight forward job with the dogs, mast heads, mast plugs being easy to find to buy. But mast extrusions... not so easy. Found Dywer masts n the USA. Brilliant site for buying. But I can't imaging air freighting a 6 meter mast. Any ideas people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobblyoldjimbo Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Not sure how quickly anyone will respond. Call Ian Markovitch at Redhead Sails in Gosford . He's a champion PT sailor and will know where to get one from. Apparently the US masts are preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 As I understand it, the various state paper tiger associations all chipped in for a length of mast section to be extruded. I think it was 200m for 30 masts. The PT association supplied a .dxf file of the required section, specified the alloy and annealing process. The first batch were called "PT Star" masts, and considered better than the USA mast as they were cheaper ($280) and more consistent. Some USA masts were very strong, others not. I'm not sure where exactly the extrusion was done. We call them Chinese masts, but this may not be accurate. The PT Star masts were popular, and tested to destruction by more than a few of us. A 2nd batch has now been extruded, which are also anodised. Garry Williams from Wagga Wagga made the arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h20melon Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yes Tony is correct. Currently SA, VIC and NSW all have stock of the PT Star masts, and most likely in VIC this mast will be located in Bangholme, but I'm not entirely sure. Otherwise, there are plenty in Wagga Wagga to collect from. For other PT parts, see: http://shop.papertigercatamaran.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
