You can lash them together in various ways, just like the real thing.
I've only got the idea in my head at the moment, but you should be able
to use multiple platforms and rigging pieces to reinforce and extend
masts.

Oops. Just answered this, I think. There are two sizes of base. there's
the small 1 & a bit high version used in the later sets, but there's
also a taller, maybe 8 or 9 high version.
The smaller mast sections will go together quite firmly, so you can get
quite tall structures. I got to at least 30" fairly easily.
