Welcome.

Importing a new one would probably be an ordeal. See if you can find a club in your area that races beach catamarans (Hobie, Prindle, Nacra). If you can get in contact with a club there is a good chance they will know someone that sells parts. Masts off an 18 cat are close enough to work.

There appears to be a dealer in the UK: http://www.marine-world.com/brokers/186.html If they are receiving a container with a Mac and or parts they may be a able to add a mast in there. There are so may X's out there that I imagine the factory still supports it.

MacGregor Yachts International Ltd was the official UK importer but that business was closed down. The official UK importer is now Pacific Marine Ltd, Bosco House, Harwich Road, Great Bromley, Essex, CO7 7UL

They sell new boats and parts.

Hope this helps

There are posts on this forum you can search that detail a few other brands of masts that work well on an X. You can put an M mast on the X and convert to a rotating mast as well. Finally, you can google out mast extrusion suppliers in the UK and build your own mast from new parts, but that's a bit of an endeavor. I'm sure someone on this forum with an X would be willing to measure out their mast to let you know where to locate the various hardware on a mast extrusion.
