Default Weekender query

(Darwin) wrote in message . com...
My 12yo nephew is building a Weekender, described as a "23' gaff sloop
with a folding mast." His query: "How do you make the mast joint
strong enough so that when you hoist the sail you mast doesn't snap at
the joint?" Please advise.



The mast is hinged, it is all right there in the plans... assuming he
is working from a purchaced set of plans, they should be pretty
complete with the mast detail spelled out much better than we can do
here...
