mast fitting
Has anyone seen a mast fitting such as the one pictured here? I am looking online and can't find anything else like this. My 1978 34' CHB trawler has no mast, so I'm resigned to having to build one myself.

looks just like mine...
Doubt you'll find the other half easily and mine is custom to the mast as it has 2 straps that run up the mast a foot or so.
I'd check sailboat salvage, get a mast step and use a cut down alumnum sailboat mast.
I have an aluminum step, mast and boom...just waiting for the year that project makes the list.

mast step
Do you happen to have a photo of your mast step, by any chance?

A welding shop that works with aluminum should be able to make you something similar, plus the parts that go with it.

Are you thinking of wood? ....or why not just go the simple way and look for an old sailboat rig as aluminum and stainless fittings are widely available rather than a bunch of custom stuff for a homemade mast.

Thanks, everybody
I found my mast, getting it shipped up from Seattle, and then will find (or have fabricated) a fitting to mount it on my boat.

looks just like mine also 1977 m.t. d.c. The part that fits into the mast is round with a flange at the bottom that would fit into your bracket
