Note on Building a DS 12.

The carbon mast is an option only. Gato went this route due to a lack of suitable or cost effective aluminium masts in his region. The standard drawings call for an aluminium mast. Any section designed for a two crew, one on trap dinghy or small non trapese cat will have approximately the right bend charcteristics. Long term I hope to have a standard mast available, however, the cost of international shipping means that the rigs will need to be shipped in large batches to make them cost effective. So it will all come down to whether people make this F12 concept a success.
