Hello!
Our mast has been damaged and we need a new mast. Any tips on finding a 24' 9" replacement mast in the NY Finger Lakes region? Thanks.

Just checking: you are certain in your diagnosis that only a new mast will do?
For example, some bends can be straightened, some breaks can be sleeved. And a break near deck level can often be salvaged by installing a tabernacle. All of these options are cheaper than getting a new mast, although some may have a slight impact on sailing characteristics - which would matter mostly if you race your boat.
However, if you are correct, please also put a post in the "Want to Buy" section, if you haven't already done so.

Good luck and fair winds (and may your mast stay straight)
