Mast Parts & Measurements PDQ 36

Post by Kitehawaii »

I just purchased a PDQ 36 without a mast. I've been gathering photos of other PDQ 36 to try to figure out how the rigging works in order to make a parts list of mast parts I will need to put together a new mast. I can say I haven't had the best luck yet finding details out about inner working of the mast/boom. Luckily I have the original boom. Can any one help me figure out the parts I will need to purchase and the measurements where they go. I'm hoping to put together a larger mast as I understand there were two different height mast on the PDQ 36. Just guessing I have come up with the list below.

Did I mention I'm new to sailing after having windsurfing and kitesurfing background. This is another level of complexity I was not prepared for. Any help would be most appreciated.
