    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.

    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,
