(6) Make and Instal mast Step and Partner, Yards and booms

Not there yet but I'm thinking ahead about mast boom and Yard battons etc etc..

I have decided to make the yard and boom from a round/oval type dingy masts (approx 4" (10cm) at the bottom).... I needed to get hold of two masts as both the yard and boom will to be about 14' (4 mr) long so together they would probably be too long to cut from one mast (?)...
Once again E-Bay has come up trumps, I got hold of a complete proctor mast and boom for £45, when I was cutting it up the guy said he had another in the garage ... would you believe it had already been cut and was 4 mr long.... all a bit spooky eh ?!

Back to fitting the hatch!!
