Would anyone know the measurements of Reaper`s Foremast yard, Mizzen Yard, Mizzen boom and bowsprit. Got the mast measurements off the Scottish fishing museum site. Emailed them over a week ago but they don`t seem to bother answering messages. Thanks

Edgar Marsh's book Sailing Drifters has the drawings for a similar St Monance Fifie True Vine ML20. This is almost the same hull size although the mast sizes are slightly larger than those given for the Reaper. It might help in giving the general proportions though.
Foremast 65ft 6in overall, Diameter 22 to 9in , foreyard 31 ft, dia 8 to 4in.Mizzen 55ft,  dia 15 to 8in, mizzen yard 25 ft 6in, dia 8 to 4in, mizzen boom 28ft,  dia 9 to 7inBowsprit  46ft 6in,  dia 19 to 8in.The yards have a double taper while the rest are single tapered. Hope this is of some help.
