Bill was wondering if you could use 2 masts off of old windsurfers
use a small alloy tube as a joiner in the middle, the one's i have at

fiberglass type not the alloy type.
hope its a thought

Yeah I could do that but It would really not look good. Considering
the boat is all wood strip composite I wanted to go more natural
materials. If I can't get bamboo then I am probably going to make it
out of a wood beam.

Carpet companies may have them. They used to be delivered with a bamboo
pole in the middle of the roll.
