Where's the mast?

I'm not sure and can't find a photo with it's spar stepped. This is a Philip Rhodes design from the 30's. I think this shape is one of the most pleasing art forms I've come across.

I have one of these docked next to me, there is actually (2) of these 30-squares in our club, the story is they were sailed across the North Atlantic by Swedish princes in the mid 1930's. They sail incredibly well and incredibly wet......
