Rigging an AUX BERMUDAN sloop (1946) G.Mcbryde and H.Rooke

[MYONA]

Hi guys,

I am a newbie to this site. I am restoring an aux bermudan sloop. I would like to have some help on the following.

With this classic boat I got 2 masts an aluminium and a wooden one. the aluminium one is the one shown in the pics. the wooden one was given to me with the boat but was never fitted.

the wooden one tends to be about 3ft longer than the aluminium one.

Question 1 If I leave the present lenght of the wooden mast will it differ anything on the boat's performance. Sails will remain the same.

Question 2 Could I have how to rig this boat and since the mast is not fitted how to determine the rigging lengths?

Question 3 What thickness should I use ?
Question 4 Do I use stainless steel wire or no

How to set the running rigging and fittings needed as I have no reference.
At that era did they have a self tending jib as I have found the fitting with the boat but nobody of the owners I spoke to recalls. (this looks like a towel holder) All I have is pics which I would like to post if sombody tells me how to.

Also note that everything is dismantled (mast, rigging, etc)

thanks
