alas del mástil

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Hi everyone, this is a list of repair work to be completed on a large yacht, from an occupational hazards report.

Context:

Desmontaje del mástil existente.
Reubicación de las bases del mástil.
Colocación de canaletas de cables, conductos, rieles y tubería desde la caja de conexionado.
Modificación de las alas del mástil.
Granallado y pintura de mástil.
Desinstalación e instalación de conductos de ventilación.
Desmontaje y montaje de antenas.

It's obviously a part of the mast, but I can't find this anywhere, not even in Spanish. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Peer comment(s):

agree Ignacio González Sánchez : Coincido. En este caso se refiere a la parte del mástil que luego va a aparejar la vela correspondiente, que se denomina "wing sail". Por eso la terminología correcta debería ser "mast wings", ya que se denomina "wings" a esas alas.

Wing sail

Yachts that have this type of technology are referred to as 'Wingsail Yacht' or if you're referring to the mast, the "wing sail of a yacht'
