Hi Wouter,

You said and I quote:
"Ventilo has as an option an (unstayed) carbon mast. "

Now that is interesting, Could you give me more information about this.
Question: How does it attach to the boat. My guess is that it would go trought the front beam and down to the V-bar.

Is it rotating

How will be the deflection of such a rig under load.

Can you have an idea of the size of the section, the modulus of the material

Is is the new 550 Carbon fiber that failed on most multihull on Route du Rhum.

Anyways, as you can see I am very interested with this technological advancement and i will be monitoring the ventilo web site at
http://www.ventilo.ch/ (it is in French)

Have a nice day
