Mast Height on Copperhead (as posted on old forum)

As originally posted by Jerry:

Anyone have the height of the upper spar of the 1974 Copperhead? The one I recently bought measures 16 feet, but I think it should be 19. There is a mismatch between the pins on the mast and the sail sleeve opening. The previous owner used a hose clamp set above the pins to secure the mast to the stub. The pins are 67" from the foot, another 21" to the hose clamp, then 104" from the clamp to the top. Looks like he reversed the mast after cutting off about 36". Thanks.

Peter von Keyserling sent me an excellent diagram that contains both spar and sail dimensions. I have posted it in the Copperhead section.

Further, Peter writes:
The mast is a 3" diameter aluminum tube by 9 feet 9 inches long. Very similar to a Sunfish mast. A marconi SunChaser (mfg'd by Snark) mast, boom and sail is a drop-in replacement for the Copperhead rig and is a bit faster.

Thanks to both for the diagram. Maybe the mast on my boat is not original to the Cooperhead, hence the misplaced spar pins.
