: Bill thanks for taking a look at this. I'm no mathematician.

: The mast sizes are in the picture. The ama beam is 11 1/2 feet, the ama's
: length is 36 inches, the circumference in the middle is 34" and they
: are shaped like a banana. I have foam in most of the tubing for floatation
: and maybe some extra strength in the aka’s and the mast.

: One minor problem, I tried to stay safe when epoxying but I must have push
: epoxy in front of the insert tubes so the inserts only go in about 14
: inches instead of 18 inches. If I can't chip or sand off the extra epoxy
: way back inside the tubes I will have to cut off 4 inches of insert
: tubing. The plans of mice and men and Murphy’s Law were at work.

: John

John,

Don't cut the sleeves yet, have an idea but I'm gonna have to be more awake than I am now to run the calculations, tomorrow should be good
