The tooling and layup manual for my mast is available.
However, you need to accept you may break one or two before getting it right. Make a boom/sprit first before trying the lot.

Alternatively Tim U spotted this:

From memory of the last one which was modified, it was as followed:

1) the bottom mast length was too long so needed chopping down

2) Add a second set of spreaders

3) Add extra rigging (caps, D2, extra trap wires) as required.

Nothing too major I think.

Gav Sims is the man in the know. He frequents the forum so will be along at some point I expect.
