I have just started the mast with Issue 62 and unfortunately am missing the mast collar in the bag.I guess I have two choices fabricate one from spare timber or order and wait for one to be delivered ...the second option does not appeal as I have experience of how long that can take...no offence DeAg.can anybody see any reason for not opting for fabricating one from spare timber...(Mr T ?)

Hi there Trotsky, I think it best to make your own as I will be making a couple of collars out of spare 1mm ply to reinforce the decking around the mast holes on the gun deck...
