That mast is embarrassingly fat for anything but a cat.

Its definitely a wing mast, probably from C-Tech judging by the spreaders. May be an R Class? Whats happening with the forestay? It seems to go from the top spreader to the lower spreader along the mast, annd them from the lower spreader to the bow.

It's just a lower shroud tied to the stem just to stop the mast falling over, there's no forestay on it as it's in the jib (which also isn't on it).

Next challenge is to guess what's under it...

Is that a flying suacer just above the 3rd battern?

I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

No, but there's one above the 4th batten

and by the way, Kenny Fyfe doesn't make masts (just sails). It does all come from NZ though, so you're close.

Well done Peaky, very close. Only thing is that the R is restricted to 13.5sq.m of upwind rag.

Very good. Pretty-much gave it to you though.

Big experiment. I'll post some pics if it works.

Look at those toe straps - how far back?!?

Why not build a longer boat?

Its got to be awesome hanging off the back when its at full crack though.

I take it you mean racks?! (edit - I didn't see the toe loops on the other pc i used!)

more like a 14ft boat with the extensions!
