Not to yank your chain mmiller, but this is in my opinion a weakness to the SMOD concept.
Perhaps you could try selling in the idea of donating the moulds at least to the class so hulls could be buildt in the future? Or releasing measurement templates and converting the H-20 class into something like the Tornado where everyone can build a boat. Your PR drones should be able to make something out of that, instead of the current sentiments we see here. Just a suggestion..


Now I am wondering how long it takes for an alu mast to 'harden' enough as to make it useless/unreliable..
