Thank you!! Thank you!!

In case anyone wondered, all of my solid wood pieces are ash. I know it is a bit heavier than douglas fir, but I already had it and I like how hard and reliable the wood is. Anyone else do the same?

Hello! I am making my first boat, a Spindrift 11N, and I'm getting close to making the mast. (I've included a couple of pics of my latest progress). My question is: Has anyone made a wooden mast in sections? I can do an aluminum mast in 3 pieces, but the poles alone are over $200. I'd rather make a wooden mast, but it's hard to transport an 18' mast on my car.
