Z-SPAR  Masthead Rig Mastheads
Z-Spar uses cast aluminum mastheads with virtually all of their Mast Sections. Masthead rigged Masts, both tapered and untapered, utilize drop-in style mastheads that fit into a slot cut in the fore and aft sides of the Mast tube. Most Mastheads for Masthead Rigs are listed below. To inquire about a Masthead not listed below, please specify the Mast Section, and whether or not the Mast is tapered.
