The mast is non-stayed, which means it has no spreaders. It is held up only by the glass of the deck, and is designed only for use on a boat originally built for an un-stayed mast. You can check on the Freedom Yacht line of boats for photos and a discussion. I hope you find what you are looking for.
Smooth sailing,

Stu Is the mast from a Hoyt cat ketch or the Mull sloop? The boats have different righting moments. Is the section circular or oval? I need it as the support for a rotating fairing for a wing mast I am building Do you think that it weighs less than 150 lbs without the track? Any idea how much to ship it to southern Ontario? I am in Thailand right now but will be returning to my boat in Canada for the summer the week after next. If the mast is still available and I determine it is suitable I would be interested although the price seems high considering that carbon tow has dropped in price from as high as $100.00 per pound to as low as $10.00
Tim,
The mast is from the David Pedrick designed Freedom 35 sloop, the generation after the Mull boats. It weighs approximately 400#. Current replacement cost (for a Freedom 35) is approximately $15000-$20,000.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Stu
Is this mast still for sale.. I own a shallow draft Phil Bolger design that currently has a wooden free standing mast tht I would like to replace with a carbon fiber mast. Yours seems to be a perfect match

Our Oceanis 43 was recently serviced and since her return neither of the heads macerators are working. There must be a master switch located on board, trouble is I cannot locate it. Any assistance most welcome.BilgolabandsSee More
"Have a 2010 43 and whilst racing recently and well heeled over on port had similar experience. Only in the aft heads and haven’t as yet sorted out where the ingress came from but suspect the shower drain. Never happened before in 15 years with…"
I note there has been no activity on SeaKnots Beneteau 40/43 since early 2025.Is one of my favourite boating sites still alive and kicking?BilgolabandsSee More
