Thanks! Yea, the crossbars were painted by the previous owner. They look pretty good but this is their first season on the water so we'll see how they hold up.

The holders for the wings were also built by the previous owner, they're a nice little addition. From the looks of them they appear to be a thin wooden dowel in the center section, with a rounded metal section riveted onto the top and bottom of the dowel. At the point where they attach to the mast step ball base (sorry for any incorrect terminology) they are somehow flattened and then have a hole drilled which allows a simple bolt and wingnut to hold them to that location. On the other end there is what looks like a small piece of PVC attached which was cut in half to make a cradle, the inside that cradles the metal also had a thin piece of carpet glued down to prevent scratching. The whole assembly was then painted black.
