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.
Build it according to the plans. Use it in the way advised, or what
seems sensible. Then it's likely to work as described.
Else you write notes to newsgroups etc., and the designer starts going
hungry. That's the way it works.
