Introduction

In its over 40-year production history, Kenyon has built spars for every type of sailboat from 7 to 70 feet LOA, and Kenyon has provided OEM spar and rigging packages to virtually every North American boat builder. Kenyon has built more spars than any other spar manufacturer in the U.S.
In addition to building new spars, Kenyon is committed to servicing its older products, and maintains a vast inventory of parts to do so. Descriptions and pictures of most parts are available on-site to help you identify most any replacement item. Kenyon Masts

Roller Furling Sections
These Sections were designed for use with the Hyde Streamstay One (#9 & #10) solid rod furling system. Hyde, in conjunction with Kenyon, developed special drum and drum cover components optimized for use in these 'Hyde-away' Spar Sections. See Hyde Streamstay One for details on the functioning and components of the furling system. These sections are currently out of production, and are shown here for identification only. See Kenyon Replacement Parts for common replacement items on these Sections.

Kenyon Boom Sections

These sections have aluminum castings for inboard and outboard ends, specifically designed to optimize their use as booms. Designed to be easily installed on the boom ends, many gooseneck and outhaul end fittings have sheaves and control cams for internal outhaul and reef lines. In addition to the standard Boom Sections listed below, Kenyon MORC and High Performance Sections have been used for booms on a number High Performance racing yachts. Although design characteristics of Kenyon MORC and High Performance Sections make them ideal for use as booms on such boats, end fittings for those sections require custom fabrication.

All sections are extruded of 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy, unless otherwise noted.
All sections feature integral etch lines at maximum points to facilitate assembly and hardware attachment.

Replacement Spars

Although there have been a continual succession of design and product modifications, virtually all of the original Kenyon Spar Sections are still available. By using the original mast or boom Section you maintain the original integrity of your rig while eliminating any possibility of installation or interface difficulty.

If you are missing your Kenyon Spar or have a broken one you have several options. We can supply you with:

• Complete Replacement Mast or Boom Assembly Identical to your original Kenyon Spar or modified in any manner you desire, we can supply you with a fully assembled mast or boom optimized to meet your needs and guaranteed to fit.

  For a quote on a replacement spar, please specify boat model and year, including LOA, spar finish (clear anodized, painted, or raw), and which Spar Section you are replacing (see Kenyon Spar Sections). Also be sure to confirm tube length, as there are variations.

• Replacement Mast or Boom Section Kenyon Spars and hardware are sufficiently robust that in most broken mast scenarios, little hardware is damaged besides the mast tube (Section) itself. In most cases Kenyon's simple component construction makes it quick and easy to transfer hardware from a broken mast to a new tube. Finished Sections with factory-milled sailgate, welded masthead, exit boxes, and other cutouts as necessary, are supplied to minimize labor, and mean that drilling holes, and tapping some of them, are all the machining that is required to complete assembly. This is usually the least expensive and most expedient method of solving a broken spar problem.

  For a quote on a replacement mast or boom tube, Please specify boat model and year, spar finish (clear anodized, painted or raw), and which Spar Section you are replacing (see Kenyon Spar Sections). Except for the larger one-design classes; frequent changes in boat models, constant design improvements, and numerous other variations, make it impossible for us to know exactly which Spar Sections you have. Virtually all boats have used more than one Mast Section during the course of their production run, some as many as six (6)! Be sure to confirm Spar Section and tube length, as there are variations.

Kenyon Replacement Parts

Mast, Boom, and Spreader Parts
Although Kenyon's long history has shown a continual succession of design changes and product modifications, and seen many thousands of different parts, most all Kenyon Spar parts, or upgrades, are still available.

Most common replacement parts are listed underneath the Mast, Boom, or Spreader Section that they attach to. To find the part you need, first, determine which Mast, Boom, or Spreader Section the part attaches to by measuring the section (see Kenyon Mast Sections, Kenyon Boom Sections, or Kenyon Spreader Sections). Then, click on that Section. Descriptions, specifications, and, in many cases photos are displayed there. Except for the larger one-design classes; frequent changes in boat models, constant design improvements, and numerous other variations, make it impossible for us to know exactly which Spar Sections you have on your boat, and what parts you need.

Some parts are not specific to any particular Spar Section, and have their own pages listed below.

See Also, General Spar Parts by Category on the Spars Main Page.

Other Parts
If a part you require is not listed on-site, please forward a sketch and a complete description of the part, or its nearest equivalent on the website, and its measurements, including which Mast, Boom, or Spreader Section the part attaches to.
