I like sailing, and I like building things, and I like being cheap...

I know where I can get some fiberglass windsurfer masts for pretty cheap, and I've heard of them being used as spinnaker poles before. I'm wondering what it takes to use them this way, and how durable they are.

When I get new sails for the G-Cat, I want to go with a roller-furling jib and a roller-furling "Hooter" or "Reacher" to use in the usually light-air conditions around Tampa Bay, FL.
