I have weighted one AHPC superwing tip weight to be over 10 kg's, fully fitted by Catamaranparts. After that broke last summer I bought a T carbon mast, cut it to 8.5 m length and measured 6 kg's tip weight. Over all weight saving of fully fitted mast was 7.8 kg's. Of course I admit that my superwing was fatter than what you measured, but I also guess that since T mast is designed for bigger loads the F16 optimized mast would weight less, any Stealth owner willing to give some numbers? Also the other superwing mast weighted in Finland was only 300 g lighter than my mast, so that wasn't some random case.

Btw, before someone notices, that mast makes my boat not to be F16 compliant anymore since mast base is over 7.5 cm's from beam braking the box rule 1.4.1, so this might make me not worthy of responding here wink.
