depends on ur budgit ..... carbon mast .. a lot stiffer a lot stronger and lighter ..... but rather exspensive...... if u tried to bent the ally mast back it will weaken it at that stress point greatly ...... either buy new ally or carbon mast ...only way to go

Contact Brett at Windrush Yachts in WA. He will sort you out with competition quality sails.
As far as the mast goes, only get a carbon one if you never want to compete in any Windrush events. Only aly masts are class legal.

im not familiar with a windrush mast at all but .... u could also sleve the mast ... pushing a smaller diameter ally pipe up the mast untill u get it in right sport and then chuck some rivits in ??

Cheers for all the help guys,
I don't race windrush 14's so thanks for the heads up about the alloy mast rule. I mainly sail small skiffs such as the cherub. Not too keen on bending it back to shape as average winds she sails in is 15-30knts on Queenslake about 2.5 hour nth of Newcastle. I think I'll hunt around for a 2nd hand alloy one. Anyway happy sailing.

You might as well try to straighten mast.

I have straightened 4m long spinnaker poles for 30 footer successfully and had no problems.

I assume that the existing bend has not creased the aluminium section.

Before you attempt to straighten however, you must fill the mast with clean sand.

This method of bending round sections is used by plumbers to bend pipes.
The sand prevents the walls of the mast section from collapsing.

Tape up all penetrations and fill mast, ensure the sand is fully compacted. Stuff end of mast with newspaper and tape up, when mast is full of sand.

You will find that the mast is very plyable and can be readily bent into your disired shape. When you are happy with the shape empty sand.

good luck. nothing to loose by giving it a go.

If you wreck it and You will because I have never seen a sucessful straightening of a windrush mast(have never seen many bend either) get onto the windrush association website and it should have clubs and contacts for people in your area.
A second hand one would be difficult unless you want to buy a mast with free boat. but the extrusion isnt too expensive and just needs all the fittings transfered from your old mast. that would be the easiest solution
