Looking ahead, a mast for the Argie 10..
The designer of this dinghy I am building, specified a 2" aluminum tube,
with 1/8th inch walls, to be in two sections. He also included a drawing for the machining of a plug to assemble the two sections of the mast, which otherwise fir into the dinghy for towing/transport, So far I have not had much luck tracking this down. I suppose I can use something else. The sail, which I bought on ebay, does not have a sleeve, so I was going to use hoops instead. Any thoughts on a mast, or materials procurement in the Boston area would be appreciated. Thanks, Jonathan |

Laminated spruce might work if you put a pulley at the peak.
