Though it would appear to "work" on an Alcort Sunfish, a short mast would soon prove to be unsuitable for efficient and enjoyable sailing. Having said that, that Craigslist mast could be easily "jury-rigged" to the proper length to get through the season.
Oh, I just took a closer look and I can see it isn't straight, not worth $0.20 nevermind $20.00.
Thanks for pointing that out.
