I just acquired some Daysailer boat parts which included a Proctor gold mast and boom. The mast has an M stamped on it so I assume that is the model. The mast has been severely neglected. It had the original wire/rope halyards that run down the back of the mast track. The jib halyard pulley is frozen and busted. Since it is built into the mast, I have no way of replacing it. My plan is to replace all the halyards with rope by replacing all the upper through mast pulleys and installing new through mast pulleys at the bottom and running the halyards inside the mast. Has anyone done this before?
In the deal, I also got a complete rudder and tiller (tiller needs work) with tiller extension and a centerboard with a chrome plated handle. I'll probably sell these items, but I plan to install the mast and boom on the Daysailer I just gave my son. I also got two main sails, two jibs and a spinnaker. Out side of having rust stains from poor storage, they are not in bad shape.
