Only an add and a correction:

In Spanish, bowsprit is "bauprés" (please, take care that the writing is nearly as the French word but the reading is very different). The "bauprés" was rarely named "palo de" or "mástil de".
Harland is wrong at the Spanish name for the mizzen: is "mesana" and not "mezana". In Spanish we named the masts "mástiles" or "palos", but also "trinquete", "mayor" and so (if you say "la mayor" or "la vela mayor" - more often- is the sail so named, but if you say "el mayor" is the mast).
Bye
Gerardo
