Until the mid-19th century all vessels' masts were made of wood formed from a single or several pieces of timber which typically consisted of the trunk of a conifer tree. From the 16th century, vessels were often built of a size requiring masts taller and thicker than could be made from single tree trunks. On these larger vessels, to achieve the required height, the masts were built from up to four sections (also called masts), known in order of rising height above the decks as the lower, top, topgallant and royal masts. Giving the lower sections sufficient thickness necessitated building them up from separate pieces of wood. Such a section was known as a made mast, as opposed to sections formed from single pieces of timber, which were known as pole masts.
Sailing comprises wind propulsion of a craft by means of sails and steering it over water, ice or land, depending on the type of craft. A sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails by adjusting their angle with respect to the moving sailing craft and sometimes by adjusting the sail area. The force transmitted from the sails is resisted by forces from the hull, keel, and rudder of a sailing craft, by forces from skate runners for an iceboat, and by forces from wheels for a land sailing craft to allow steering a course on a point of sail with respect to the true wind.
While there are still some places in the world where sail-powered passenger, fishing and trading vessels are used, these craft have become rarer as internal combustion engines have become economically viable in even the poorest and most remote areas. In most countries sailing is enjoyed as a recreational activity or as a sport. Recreational sailing or yachting can be divided into racing and cruising. Cruising can include extended offshore and ocean-crossing trips, coastal sailing within sight of land, and daysailing.
Sailing refers to using sailboats for sporting purposes. It can be recreational or competitive.
Sailing is the main variety of yachting, and competitive sailing the main variety of yacht racing. A sailing competition is known as a regatta, usually consists of multiple individual races, where the boat that performs best in each race is the overall winner. There is a broad variety of kinds of races and sailboats used for racing from large yacht to dinghy racing. Much racing is done around buoys or similar marks in protected waters, while some longer offshore races cross open water. All kinds of boats are used for racing, including small dinghies, catamarans, boats designed primarily for cruising, and purpose-built raceboats. The Racing Rules of Sailing govern the conduct of yacht racing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, model boat racing, dinghy racing and virtually any other form of racing around a course with more than one vessel while powered by the wind.

The ancient Egyptianship's mast hieroglyph is one of the oldest language hieroglyphs from Ancient Egypt. It is used on a famous label of Pharaoh Den of the First dynasty, but forms part of the location hieroglyph: Emblem of the East.
Language usage of ship's mast
The hieroglyphic language equivalent of the mast is 'kh'-('ḥ'), and means "to stand erect", or "to stand vertical"; its use is extensive throughout the language history, and hieroglyphic tomb reliefs and story-telling of Ancient Egypt. It is possibly a forerunner hieroglyph to khā-(now spelled: kh3), the sun rising upon the horizon.
Rosetta Stone usage
In the 198 BC Rosetta Stone, the ship's mast hieroglyph has the unique usage in the final line of the Ptolemy V decree: the mast is used twice-(adjective, verb):
From right, hieroglyphs: sedge of the South, Papyrus clump with leaves of North-Nile Delta, wife-hieroglyph, the tree-hieroglyph, and the Ship's Mast hieroglyph

In Sufi philosophy, a mast (pronounced "must") is a person who is overwhelmed with love for God, accompanied with external disorientation resembling intoxication. The word is coined by Meher Baba and originates from the Sufi term mast-Allah meaning "intoxicated with God" from Persian mast, lit. "intoxicated." Another interpretation of its origin is that it is derived from masti, a Persian word meaning "overpowered."
Overview
According to Meher Baba, a mast is one who is entranced or spellbound by internal spiritual experiences and ecstasies, who cannot function outwardly in an ordinary way, and may appear mad to a casual outside observer. Such experiences, according to Meher Baba, stem from the station of a mast's consciousness (his or her state of consciousness) on inner planes of involution. In the book, The Wayfarers: Meher Baba With the God-Intoxicated, British medical doctor William Donkin documents in great detail Meher Baba's numerous contacts with masts throughout South Asia (mostly Iran, India, and Pakistan). The introduction, written by Meher Baba, explains their unique state and their outward characteristics. Meher Baba carefully distinguishes the mast state from madness, saying that in the case of the mad person, the mind is sped up, while in the case of the mast it is slowed down. Meher Baba also made a Sufi analogy (reflecting the poetry of Hafez) to the drunkenness of one intoxicated with wine, but in this case the wine is the love of God. Meher Baba contacted thousands of masts all over India, Pakistan, and Iran, saying that he was freeing them from enchantment and helping them to continue on the spiritual path and to be of inward service to humanity.
Solo round the world yachtsman Alex Thomson performs a daring feat on board his high-speed yacht, HUGO BOSS. Thomson climbs up the 30-metre high mast of the moving vessel and dives into the ocean.
This is not the first stunt we've seen from Thomson. Two years ago he completed The Keel Walk, a stunt which has become famous across the world. Watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2PQfJ2SAg4

Dragon Mast erection using tripod
This is the standard method of erecting ( or dropping ) a mast on the Dragon using a tripod ( we call them sheerlegs).
As can be seen it is easy and safe by two people .
Important is that the boat is head to wind ( bow facing the wind direction ) if the wind is strong .
Also important that the two side legs are fixed to the trailer or boat during the process . The rope from the bottom of the side legs achieves this .
Before dropping the tripod we recommended attaching the forestay , deck level mast ram and backstay, with a small tension on the backstay .

Fixing Avocet | Rebuilding our Mast
Through every refit we have become more familiar with Avocet’s design and layup, touching nearly every inch of the boat in the process, but there was one final piece that was left mostly untouched by us - the mast. We had already done a bit of rig work prior, fabricating all-new chainplates and replacing our cap shrouds but we knew there was much more to be done. From the records we have, our mast was installed in 2004, but it was showing signs of wear and beginning to fail in crucial areas such as the shivs. So, back to the boatyard, we went with tools in hand for a relatively quick but major upgrade.

Climbing the Mast Solo! ( single handed sailing )
Welcome to "Captain`s Learning Log." Before I bought Wahine, I had many fears. Two of them were of going below and under, and the other was going above and over. The ATN Mastclimber helped me conquer one of those fears, and it enables me to go up alone, which I have now done countless times. They are not a sponsor, but I do recommend you check them out. I bought mine on defender.com as they were a tad cheaper than West Marine. But plan on spending the best part of 500 USD. I filmed this while on my ten day cruise and while at dock in Shimoda. More of that trip to come.

Until the mid-19th century all vessels' masts were made of wood formed from a single or several pieces of timber which typically consisted of the trunk of a conifer tree. From the 16th century, vessels were often built of a size requiring masts taller and thicker than could be made from single tree trunks. On these larger vessels, to achieve the required height, the masts were built from up to four sections (also called masts), known in order of rising height above the decks as the lower, top, topgallant and royal masts. Giving the lower sections sufficient thickness necessitated building them up from separate pieces of wood. Such a section was known as a made mast, as opposed to sections formed from single pieces of timber, which were known as pole masts.
