Step 2: Cut the branches off with an hatchet. (We used a sharp rock, a chisel and a hammer - we don't suggest using these tools, unless you are unemployed and have a lot of time on your hands…..like us.)

Step 5: Cut a sail. *Hint - tarps work much better than bedsheets. We found out the hard way, you don't have to.
Step 6: Duct Tape! Put a strip down the leech of the sail. Yellow works best.

Step 7: Attach sail to mast and tie a line around the clew. We used plastic tie-wraps for the mast and some light line as our main sheet.

Step 3: Attach the now bare tree to your dinghy. Hooray - it's a mast!
