MAST HOOPS
Tomorrow I'll look on my PC for photos of the attachments of the mast hoops to the sails and I'll attach them to you.
WOOHOO!!! thank you Alessandro
I WAS thinking they should be bronze or brass
I was also thinking, like you, the head was too large. Also, when I trim the pin to correct length it will have a sharp edge that could scrape the mast and be pushed out of the hoop
SOLUTION:
reverse the pin. Smooth pin head is against the mast and what will appear to be the head of the pin, on the outside, will be the pin shaft
No mast scraping, proper scale bolt head showing on outside. Material is still a problem

- Hi RossM, the research continues but in the meantime you can see these three images.
The second and third were already part of those I had sent.
Are they not enough for you to understand how the mast hoops were related to the sail?Liked by Doogle - Ross, while I see if I have other images, besides the ones already posted, I'll talk to you about the pegs.
I bought pegs of various sizes from this modeling shop. It's always a good idea to have various sizes just in case, but it's also fine to modify them as you do.
Brass costs more but they don't rust and are easy to file, cut or bend.

- Here's my attempt at mast hoops:
(when I click in the link it takes me to the right blog, but not the right post - you have to scroll down).

You can choose between different thicknesses of rope and decide whether to pass it once or more (as these girls do and as I did).
Basically it involves tying a wooden ring to the hole on the edge of the sail.
Probably you and I, even if we hadn't seen any photos, would have done this (or something very similar).

Mast hoops & sails
This is the photo I got today from Bluenose II. EMILY S sent a quick description. Around the mast hoop and through the grommet hole, very simple and straight forward technique.
Alessandro:
Do those look like stainless steel bolts??

MAST HOOP MOLDING
Hi Graham,
My first moulding (MAST HOOPS 2nd entry) did not go well using paper as a separation layer. I switched over to 0.25mm plastic sheeting wrapped around the dowel. Form the hoop over the plastic sheeting. Slide that sheeting with the newly formed hoop tube stock off the dowel. Remove the sheeting from the inside of the moulded hoop tube stock
