I have an 86 H16 with a comp tip mast. Apparently the mast was not cut short enough when they comptip was installed by 4.25 inches. I really dont want to break the mast apart if possible.
Is there any problems with cutting the comptip down at the top and then reinstalling the comptip mast head the halyard hook?

Does anyone have any other suggestion for getting the mast to the correct size?

Thanks


I have to shorten the distance between the top and where the sail inserts in the mast for the downhaul.

I got the measurements from hobie and the metal part is definately long. Im for sure going to triple check this before I do anything to it. I will probably get someone else to confirm this also prior to any alterations to make sure Im not having a brain cramp or something.

Ive run 3 sets of mains on this with the exact same issue.


86 H16 Its such a fine line between clever and stupid.
