Over on http://catsailingnews.blogspot.com/ mr Bundock posted the following reply on the forum.

I've edited out the bits not related to the mast specifically. Some parts of this forum thread are a bit disrespectful and I feel 2Bsailing and AHPC deserve lots of credit for what they do in relation to getting the cats back in and maintaining a multihull presence within ISAF.

Dear Mr/Mrs Conspiracy Theory,

It was actually me that ordered the first 2 piece mast and I did that about 3 weeks after the 2011 ISAF Mid Year meeting in St.Petersburg. Which I attended as an observer.

There was discussion that a 2 piece mast might be a requirement. To cover all bases I ordered it on the chance it might happen. If you were there then you too would have known.

Regards
Darren



Darren made this response in relation to previous posting by some anonymous poster stating the following :


... the big question is when did Carolijn order a 2 piece carbon mast from Heol composites? ...



It seems to me that the two-piece carbons masts are a serious rumour if not indeed true. Can Jeff confirm whether the same mast is also on the Nacra F16's ?

Regards,

Wouter
