Oh I always have replaced the masts with steel rod so they are much stronger than the originals. They won't snap off at the deck like the originals.

As you may have seen Vol, subsequent to that experiment I have now taken to using steel masts with the cross trees silver soldered on. They will take any amount of hammer and also allow a very strong bond with the sails without any flexing.Originally Posted by Volunteer

Haha, well soldering is a bit more than I want to try. With my luck I would just be burning myself all of the time. I just tie them on and glue. Allows a bit of flex and the rigging holds them in place.
Here is one I did earlier and then the finished article.
See no hands needed, so non to get burnt.
