I viewed a Wauquiez 33 recently and observed it had a splice in the mast:
I don't recall ever seeing a boat like that with a splice in the spar, so I am wondering if this is the way that the Wauquiez 33 was built, or if this was perhaps a repair or a modification.
So, my questions are:

So, my questions are:
- Is this original construction or a repair/alteration?
- Whether original or altered, does this compromise the strength of the spar?
- What other advantages/disadvantages are there to this construction?
