Ok, most of the top 20 teams now have more than three times the masts compared to the boats they own....

They has been a lot of mast trading going on allowing people to find a mast that suits what they are looking for.

The exclusive build rights have expired, but there was a lot of delay in getting Marstrom to supply the build spec to ISAF. The first spec was sent in Swedish (handwritten..) and was actually detailing his general build method for any part... only in the last 12 months has a spec and Lam sched been approved by ISAF. This is now available to new builders... not too many are keen to invest in a class thats not Olympic after August.

There were some very high quality builders wanting the specs so they could build masts but now I doubt it will go anywhere.
