I'm planning on replacing the mast on my Triton and would appreciate input on sources of suitable alum extrusions close to Maine. I'm not interested in used spars. My existing anodized mast appears to be original and has lasted perhaps 50 years. I've contacted Dwyer and Rig-Rite (Kenyon). How are these folks to work with? Are there other sources to consider?
Thanks in advance for your expertise.

Re: Mast replacement
You might try the Zephyr Spars division of Cape Cod Shipbuilding in Wareham, MA.

They primarily fabricate spars for smaller boats but may be able to do a Triton mast. Their customer service is very good.

Re: Mast replacement
Thanks Glenn & Mark for your suggestions. I'll be working later today to remove the end caps from my existing mast so I can trace them and see if I can find a fit.
