Hello All,
Harper and i have pulled each others boat up the beach ( with beach wheels, of course),...by ourselves,........
...the FX-1 is most definately LIGHTER than my I-17 Euro ( standard, metal mast)
...we have also helped each other with mast placement,....the FX-1 mast is real hi-tech, strong and light ( metal also).....about 20% or so lighter.........the I-17 mast is the standard Performance Mast ( metal) that ends up on most of their models,....the FX-1 mast is definately a custom job (..especially if you order the all metal one from Europe........not the comp tip job)
...the FX-1 boom is a real hi-tech one,....much like the A-cat,....strong, light, simple,....and works all the time,....the Inter boom,...is the standard issue one,...almost 50% heavier......just a old versoin ,...not alot of innovation in it.....
...in fact,..when we saw the 'new, hot' F-18 in Rolex last year,....you guessed it,...same mast and boom as the Inter non-carbon line.......
FYI.....
....go sailing,........sail what you have,....have some fun!
