Does it have existing mast and rigging? Can mast be repaired? Can existing mast fittings be re-used? Is there a furler? If yes, is it serviceable? If not, are you planning on getting one? Do you have easy access to the boat and a crane?

Cost could (only an estimate) vary from 2k for mast repairs and 2k for rigging if you can get and install like for like shrouds and stays, to 15k for new mast and rigging all done for you. The only way you'll know is to start with a commercial quote and work through options. Keep in mind for insurance purposes you'll likely have to replace lifelines as well.

Doesn't look a worthwhile project. Looks to be a lot more damage than just a mast. You would want to get the boat for free. What's more Fast Backs were not a particularly good boat to start with, so you would not want to spend too much money on it. Look a result of cyclone Debbie.

I would have a look. We have seen quite a few Fastbacks cruising and they are a really clever use of space and a great coastal cruiser. Our cat was somewhat modelled on a Fastback, only bigger and it has worked well for us. Fastbacks are like small Easys, great coastal cruisers that you don't need a big wallet to run. Small can be beautiful if well designed and John Gross did a good job with the Fastback 30 and 31, 32.

You should be able to pick up a secondhand rig for the boat as it could use a mono type rig fine. The laminate is solid glass so there will be no problems with rot. Fixing holes etc would be easy compared to any other building method.

The boats are small, so they are not that suitable for ocean crossings but small means low loads, which means low cost.

BTW - Baffle Creek is north of Bundy. It looks like it got hit there. You should be able to patch it up and motor it home to get the rig right later. Get more photos and we will see.

cheers
