Personally I feel that to have any “rules” that are not entirely necessary just cloud the issue and, as it seems here, create unwanted debate/argument. I feel that the mast tip weight IN practice will and does take care of itself without the need to have it written into the class rules
Any rule that, seems to a lot of people to be ambiguous, often can create dissent from within its membership and has the appearance to the outsider of being a reason to have doubts about the wisdom of becoming part of an association who appear as if they can’t even agree on something that to all intent and purpose appears at the least, insignificant, and as such should be deleted from the rules
If the association DOESN’T want carbon masts then delete the tip weight rule and add, “carbon masts are not allowed” if not, then clean it up and just delete the tip weight rule!
Just my opinion.
