HOW DOES SUCH A SIMPLE RIG DO SO MUCH SO EFFICIENTLY?
Less is more in this regard. The same technology used to design an aeroplane wing is used to support the Nonsuch mast high in the air. Both wing and mast are of aluminum. The mast is in two sections. It is extruded and spun to taper. It is sleeved together in the middle and is extremely strong and slightly flexible.
