There is a mast base that is 9 bricks tall. It comes in the two largest ships
(Black Seas Barracuda, Skull Eye Schooner) and the Carribean Clipper. You also
get one in the set #6270 Forbidden Island. With it, your masts (3 pieces) can
extend to about 15 inches. There's a black column that you can find in the set
6097 "Night Lords Castle" that you can add to the base section and it will give
you a mast of app. 19 inches long (4 pieces). It looks fairly well that way.
I haven't used it like that but I'm thinking about it. You could possible use
the column piece in place of the taller base piece. It's a lot easier to get.
I'm sure there are other possibilities. Good luck!
