Carbon masts send the price of the boat way past that of an F18. Weight and price go hand in hand. Most of you have said that yourselves.
I said that the F16's INCLUDING a carbon mast upgrade are still cheaper then competitive F18's.
We have given examples of that many times but most strikingly are the Stealth F16's that come standard with a carbon mast for 9650 GBP = 12.742 Euro's in the race version (= most expensive).
Same applies to VWM Blade F16 imports to EU with a carbon mast upgrade. The Aussie Blade F16 is now under minimum weight with the Alu mast and doesn't require a carbon mast upgrade.
