She spun to gaze at the thicket of bare masts in the bay.

They made out her two masts, bare of sails, and the great volumes of black smoke.

With bare masts, though, it was unusual not to be able to use the stove.

Her wallowing rolls in the waves changed angle, the bare mast rocking crazily.

There, looming out of the coiling morning haze, were two slender, bare masts.

The masts bare of sails, the wind being foul for it.

Glimmering lights, high up, cast a dull glare that showed the forms of bare square-rigged masts.

They had surely been seen because white sails suddenly blossomed along the bare masts of the British ships.

The bare masts of the Resolution towered into the blue noon sky.

By May the boatyard would be nearly empty, silence replacing the constant sound of ropes clanging against bare masts.
