Scott, I think the Upper was called a Spar and the Lower
the Boom (Guess)


Anything that hits you in the head is called a "boom."

Well, now they're called "poles." If you ever put them back
on a boat you can call them by their right name(s)!


Still have the old sail too, but I cut patch pieces out of
it.


After all this time, the sail probably wasn't good for much

I have seen this done both ways: Sunfish spars used for
plumbing and plumbing used for Sunfish spars.
