I am not sure what this is about. I think I was told that it was a tree trunk being straightened for a mast. Photo taken at Hatston, May 1989.

Could one trust a mast made from an originally bent tree-trunk to stay straight over the years?

Could have been the mast for The Enterprise

I think that was for the Peterel now in the basin. Mick Rennie's home

I think the Enterprise's mast is still lying on the pier at Irvine, weel rotten..

It's not one of Petrel's masts, mine are not that massive and any way were stepped by 1985. I am confident that they are the masts and spars of Neil McKie's Enterprise, which I helped build.
