The old Dumas hull I'm rebuilding came with three Goldspar masts that have so many holes and epoxy patches that I wil never trust them in a blow. I've had very good luck making masts for my Star 45 with round 6061-T6 aluminum tubing. Does anyone do this? Am I making a mistake? How about cutting down the Goldspar masts and using them for booms?
