You don’t even have to make much of a detour, they are right next to the A2 motorway, between Amsterdam and Utrecht.
Getting one from them by mail order may be a bit of a problem. They are most likely under embargo to ship to the UK. And also masts are very expensive items to ship through UPS or TNT because of their length.
Alternatives:

Which is very close to the Worlds venue in Hellerup.
And also Thomas Raun Petersen, the secretary of the Scandinavian Wayfarer association, who has a little shop in Wayfarer specials, can get you a new mast. To be delivered at Hellerup harbour if you should so wish. Give Thomas a call or email.
