(Joe R P-21 004 Sinking Spring, PA) Looks real solid to me! These extrusions are usually much stronger than they need to be......a mast in a small boat like that really mostly holds itself up, which is evident when you see wood masts.....just sticks, really. The shrouds really are the parts that do the job. I mean, if your insurance is going to pay everything except a small deductible, that is one thing........but if I was spending my money I would not replace.
