The tallest mast I use on the Agamemnon starts with the tall mast base, a
main mast, the the smallest of the top mast, to which I have attached one of
the longer topmasts (just snapped together like normal blocks), and lashed
around with a small rope and stud piece, and a lance in the very top.  That
gets me around 52cm (20").  Even if I could figure out an elegant way to go
higher, I'm not sure I would bother. At that size the proportional all seem
to work out nicely.

Ahhh, that does look quite nice.
