I recently bought a "middle aged" Norfolk Smuggler, knowing that it needs a fair bit of tlc....... including a new mast. She is Gaff rigged with a wooden mast. This is the first boat I have owned with wooden spars and having weighed the pros and cons with the yard, we have decided to build the new mast from Douglas fir. The question though, is which glue to use........
The options would seem to be Cascophen, which may leave a dark line at the joins, epoxy which I am told is susceptible to UV or polyurethane........
What would the panel advise?
Thanks,
Paul
