MetalMast Traditional Mast Sections

MetalMast Marine used a wide variety of different Mast Sections during their production history. In addition to building complete spars for Boatbuilders, MetalMast sold tubes and components to others, notably Pearson, who built their own Spars using MetalMast, and other, hardware.

MetalMast Traditional Mast Sections were common on production boats through the late 1980's, the range was then replaced with the 'delta-shaped' Performance Mast Sections. While Traditional Mast Sections are generally out of production, many original Components are in stock, and custom ones are available.

MetalMast Traditional Mast Sections are divided into 2 basic categories based on shape.
Teardrop-shaped Mast Sections, and Oval Mast Sections.


MetalMast Teardrop Mast Sections are generally Teardrop shaped with an internal Flat Track for sail slides, early versions* had no integral track, requiring the installation of Stainless Steel Sailtrack for the mainsail. Newer versions incorporated integral tracks inside the mast for electrical wiring slides. Most, are as pictured, and use the 1/2" round wire slide, MM E-128. Those few with smaller grooves use the K-10908 wiring slides. MM-5029 MM-6035* MM-6537 MM-7041 MM-7845 MM-8348

MetalMast Oval Mast Sections are generally elliptical or ovoid-shaped with an internal Flat Track for sail slides, newer versions incorporated integral track(s) inside the mast for electrical wiring slides, K-10908. MM-4833 MM-5838 MM-5938 MM-6641 MM-7244 MM-8655 MM-9650
