I know someone who has the 14', 300lb, wood spar complete with shackle hardware that served for years as the black & white, flasher #3 companion spar. A few years back it washed up on shore in December and the next year the Marine Patrol replaced it with a new and improved pvc spar. And, the MP did not want it back.....they said 'thanks, but no thanks.'

If the old spar could talk, it would say ' Ahoy, I ain't no garden timber, put me back into the lake!" Hey, there's no spar like an old, square, double tapered, lake Winni orig wooden spar...
