In talking to one of the top Infusion teams(who used to sail I-20s) ,they told me the mast was 10 pounds heavier. I'd have to take the $1,000 dollar a pound option if I broke mine. Aluminum is not the way I'd want to go either ,but having that option would be nice, instead of a parked I-20 with a broken mast because I can't/won't pay $11,000 for "that" mast. For that much money it could be lighter and stronger. Look at Hall and Marstrom's. My sailing falls under the 2 good sized guys category apparently, because me and most of my regular crew would be wayyyy to heavy to be competitive on any F-18. Todd
