If memory serves, Southern Spars makes those carbon sticks. Is there any way to source them here for less money? Can't PC license a company or sell them the molds/design specs?
Jack says he's tried stateside but to no avail. Carbon is getting chaeper in China, go figure. Maybe that's where they should be built, cheap.(Bite my tongue).Then we'll be replacing them every race. I wish I'd never found out about the price hike, I find myself stressing over mast rotation more than ever. I've heard that the aluminum stick is only 4 lbs. or so heavier, if that's the case I'm all for it. It has more area which means they'd have to cut the sails down, but then again nothing else seems to be consistent one design( sails measure different, diff. booms, different tackers, different rudders,etc.) so why bother.
