I did learn this mast is heavier than my old one. Couldn't right the boat. Had to get help. I could get it out of the water, but not past horizontal.

I think I'm going to take the top off, pull the foam and re-do it as thin as I can and see if that does the trick. I'm borderline anyways.

Maybe my tapered main halyard was enough with my last boat? Kinda doubt it.
