Two Mast Splices ?

[Brion Toss]

Hello,
Although two splices will put some extra weight in, there's nothing structurally problematic. In fact, careful placement following mind-numbing calculations might even allow you a somewhat smaller section. But just focus on generous overlap and tapered ends for the interior pieces. See if you can avoid having a splice at the spreaders, as it makes mounting hardware difficult. Keep the other splice low, for weight.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss

Just purchased the 1st mast extrusion out the door from "Rolly Taskers Sails" in Phuket. They now have a full riggers shop. It will be in operation by Dec 2007. This is the only outlet I know of in SE Asia. Prices are about 1/2 of Australia. Very good quality.
