  Upgrading Spars - SailNet Community   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When rehabbing older spars, however, there is a lot of labor to remove the old fittings from the mast, strip the old finish, make repairs, and prep the aluminum.
If the old fittings have been on the spar a long time, they can be spitefully stubborn in their refusal to be removed, eating up the clock at $50 or more per hour.
If the cost of shipping the spar to the shop is added to this excess labor, it often is enough to purchase new aluminum mast and boom extrusions, which are not terribly expensive in their naked state.

 Installing spars and repairing a bent wing
The second set is another way of installing spars on a new wing after the panels are glued together.
When they are removed from the jackets, you will find that the spars glued in with no bumps and the Polyurethane glue will not leak out from the tape and expand all over the place.
The basic idea for installing spars is to sand a groove into the top and bottom of the wing at the thickest part of airfoil for the purpose of imbedding a strip of wood, wood dowels, fiberglass or carbon fiber rod, or fiberglass or carbon fiber cloth.

 Spars
Such competitions may occur within quests, but the main difference is that, in spars, the competition is between two or more players' parties, while, in quests, competition is generally between players' parties and NPC opponents.
There are many ways in which one may hold a spar and the rules of engamement are either determined by the thread starter, a preset rule (as is the case in tournaments), or by some sort of agreement between the teams.
Such things as time and place are often key factors in determining the rules of engagement; as are the strengths, weaknesses, number of fighters, and general attributes of the competitors.

 The Coast Guard and the Women's Reserve in World War II
If the SPARs joined the Coast Guard to see the coast, they did not even come close as they were assigned to a training station in the Midwest for their first five weeks in the service.
Early recruiting pamphlets described the SPAR uniforms as a "navy blue, semi-fitted garment." With the intent of making the figures of all members as nearly equal as possible, the uniform consisted of a six-gored skirt of serge gabardine or tropical worsted and a four-button blouse with rounded lapels.
On June 30, 1946, the SPAR demobilization-completion day came and the 10,000 members of the Coast Guard Women's Reserve departed the service in the same spirit with which they entered - with patriotism for a country they loved and helped to defend, and faithfulness to their Coast Guard which they served with pride and dedication.

 Carbon Fibre Spars in the 505 Class
While aluminium alloy spars are relatively easy to build once you have a nearby aluminium plant and extruder, they cannot be built without someone having incurred the huge capital cost for the plant and equipment.
Many expect the carbon fibre spars to have greater longevity, and be more resistant to breaking when the mast tip hits the bottom during a capsize, than current aluminium spars.
There are a large number of carbon fibre spar manufacturers that may be interested in building masts for the 505 class, in more countries than just the UK and Australia, and as discussed above, carbon fibre spars could be home built, unlike aluminium spars.

 Marten Spars carbon-fibre masts and in-boom furling systems for superyachts
Marten Spars was born out of Marten Marine which had produced the rig for Michael Faye’s ‘big Boat America’s Cup challenger in 1988.’ Since then Marten Spars has focused on the international super yacht industry for the supply of carbon fibre masts and the internationally recognised Leisure Furl boom.

The spars are made to the original Q-200 recipe except that 200gm carbon fibre has been substituted in place of the eglass originally used for the single ply wrap inside and outside the 4 plies of 450gm carbon UNI fibre pre preg.
