How much of a savings is there on 20 foot containers.... and not the standard 40 foot box we are familiar with? Obviously... the idea is that teams could afford the smaller box and do the world-wide circuit.

I think Riba was making and selling two part carbon masts for the Bim 18HT? Do I have that correct?

They are clever.... they stop the alu mast BS right at the begining... that was a fundamental problem for the T class so they are not making that mistake again. They take the F18 class completely out of the picture. Not to mention every racing class in the world EXCEPT the USA Hobie 16.

Hmm.... do the powers that be think that Carbon sticks are sufficiently electrically safe... They must!
