Sorry for the possible dumb question. Do you want to make it out of wood then fiberglass it?

I suggest you make a hollow mast. See the picture.

Read these threads:

laminated mast using two or more species?
Composite mast questions
How do I build a mast out of Carbon Fiber or glass
mast

This might shead some light on the subject. Also contact Eric Sponberg, as he replies regularly on mast questions, you can find him in the members list.


Good luck

Ragnar,

Glad you like it, when you're on the forum for a while you start to see the same questions repeated again and again. With the search option you can find a lot of info without having to start a thread.
I guess newbies overlook that.

Regards,
