Konsort Mast

Does any one know the height of the mast on a 1981 westerly konsort please? I need to replace the halyard.
Thanks

Alternatively, mark the halyard with a bit of tape against a point on the mast whilst the main sail is down, then hoist the main sail mark the halyard with a bit of tape at the same point on the mast, then simply measure betwixt the two tape marks on the halyard times it by two add a little (say 1m max) for the top of the mast and measure the slack at the bottom before the first tape mark then you have your measurement.
