Bram,
When reviewing the hardware template for the lower mast section, I see that 
the lower shroud T-ball backing plates and the sail feeder will fasten through 
the aluminum sleeve used to join the mast sections.  What recommendations, 
steps and procedures should we consider regarding:

1.  Reaction of the aluminum with carbon fiber and S/S fasteners

2.  Bonding/Fastening upper mast section to lower section

3.  Type and size of S/S pop rivets (see Grainger attachment)

4.  Use of rivet washers to back-up fasteners through the carbon spars

Thanks.
