I had a bunch of old one piece masts, and some two piece ones that I knew I'd never use again, had some old worthless sails also.
When my daughter was just about 8 years old, I took those and made a teepee out of them for her to use. The masts all tied together at the top with the old sails wrapped around them as the shelter. It was about 14' tall with the bottom being about 7' in diameter. It stood in my back yard for several years, she even spent the night in it several times with some of her friends, she loved it, but eventually out grew it. When that happened, I took it down, rolled it up in a big bundle and tossed it.
It was a hit with her and her friends, I should have took some pics of it but never got around to it, still kicking myself for that.
Man I wish this topic came up a few years back, maybe I wouldn't have put 7 old 1 and 2 piece masts out in the hard rubbish Collection. Still had another 5 good ones in the shed, and my wife calls me a hoarder... Pffff...

I am chasing a bunch of 50mm Diameter mast bottom sections - the wider ones, not the narrow RDM's to build a set of wings for a single-hander skiff I have.
If you have any lying around, let me know. i need 8 total.
Thanks.
Thank you Phil McGain Maui Sails.
