I cannot believe I've done this, but I broke a Fiberspar mast bottom section
WHILE RIGGING IT. Apparently I need to revisit rigging 101. It shattered
when I snapped a 6.0 Pryde V-8 cam into place.

Anyway, I need a new bottom section or I need to trade or sell the top (or
trash it).

The mast is a 2 piece 460 Fiberspar reflex 4500, three years old, 60%
carbon. I remember reading somewhere that one of the mast manufacturers was
selling halves. Was it Fiberspar and is there any chance for me on this?

Thanks for any help.
