Default Mast question

Hi

I am curious about a mast I saw recently and wonder if it is suitable for a sailing boat. The section is made up of 4 pieces running longitudinally, riveted every 4" the length of the mast. It is also sleeved, a ± 14" sleeve, in the middle of its 55' length. How will it cope with bending is my concern, but there may well be other issues. Any input much appreciated. Thanks.
