I'm sure someone has answered this somewhere but I have not been able to confirm. I am building a pvc pipe carrier for the mast/sail while traveling on my trailer. What is the full length from one end to the other of the TI mast? Thanks & fair winds........ P.S. I don't have my TI yet or I would have walked outside and made the measurement, I promise....... |

It's around 18' 1.75". You should read THIS post. Of particular importance is the diameter of pipe required for the job. |

Ah yes, thanks so much! Interesting note that 5" pipe was used and someone replied they could not find 5" pipe. Well, at Lowes I found 6" pipe which is 10' long. I am going to saw it in half length-wise to make a trough for the mast to ride in. I will couple the two pieces together [cut off 1"] so my mast carrier is 19' long, and put 1/2 of a cap piece on each end so things stay in place. Once done, I'll post a picture. |

Add some bungee or something over the mast in the trough so it doesn't 'hop' out at an inconvenient time. |
