[bolger] Re: here it is (was Mast anxiety: also thinking out loud)
Thanks Pippo, You saved me a lot of looking. This time I book marked the
site. It was good to see my memory was right except for the guy's
weight.
Thanks again, Stan M-N-B-T, SG, going out to work on the pilot house
with a big smile, thinking about the new snow on the banks of the St.
Lawrence.

P.S.: once there, have a look to the Roamer dinghy. Looks like a great
little boat!

Lincoln,
As a thought, a while back (2 or 3 months) I ran across a site where
a guy was building a mast from a foam core covered with fiberglass,
about four layers, if I remember right. He laid out overlapping strips
from one end of the foam to the end, each a little wider than the last
and wrapped them around the foam, starting with the narrowest one first,
then overlapping and wrapping the next and so on until he had all four
on the mast, making about six layers. He looked to be about 150 pounds,
and when he was finished, he supported both ends and stood in the center
and it did not brake.
If your interested, I'll take some time and see if I can find the
site for you.
Stan, M-N-B-T, Snow Goose, looking forward to a warm, work on the pilot
house day, tomorrow.
