Is this Capri 14.2 Mast?

[RyanLee]

Hello,

I bought a 420 sailboat on Craiglist today, I checked the boat but did not think to check the mast.

When trying to step the mast, I noticed that it didn't seem to work, and a measurement confirmed it is too long (21 feet, 4 inches vs 20 feet 6 inches).

Some simple googling led be to believe it might be a Capri 14.2 mast (based on appearance and length), but there are not many great pictures of the bottom of the mast.

Can anyone confirm if this is a Capri 14.2 mast?

Thanks
Ryan

Hello Ryan,

I am an owner of a 1999 Catalina Capri 14.2 . Below you can see two pictures. For the first picture, look at the upper right and you will see the bottom of the mast. For the second picture, that is what the top of my mast looks like.

Happy to answer questions!

Thanks Jarrett!
It does look different, but to be sure, would it be possible to measure the length of the mast? Online I could only find measurements from the waterline to the top of the mast.
Thanks!
