You guys have missed the point of the platform swap. The harm to the mast would be done by the increased weight of the platform creating more righting moment on the mast.Has nothing to do with the wires or any of that stuff. That being said I think the HT mast could handle the task fine with proper boat handling.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
