## repairing the wand

rod: carbon x mm
arm:
paddle:
ordering a replacement wand from whiteformula is no problem and reasonable priced. however, as I like to be able to fix things right away and tinker around too, I printed my own wand parts. Ordering carbon rods is no problem too, they are about €10 per piece.

I have uploaded the [CAD and 3D print models here...](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3054149)

## how to remove water from the mast
The mast should be water tight. But however, in my unfortunate case when I lost the lid of the hull and the boat almost sank, I did get water into it. The entire mast was in the water and it could have gottin in at the foot or somewhere else on the mast. Usually when capsizing the foot is above water, so less risky for untighteness.
