Spanish term or phrase: alas del mástil
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!

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.
