Hi Jake,
What I am telling you is that the mast section on all SC/ARC products was chosen to prevent turtling. When the top 8 to 10ft of mast is submerged, the displaced volume is enough bouyant force to prevent turtling of the boat with no one sitting on the upper hull. You can always drive any turned over boat turtle with a couple of 200 pounders sitting on the upper hull trying to avoid getting wet.
Turned over boats do not stay with the tramp pointed into the wind very long when the boat is first turned over if the mast has sufficient bouyant force to prevent turtling. The boat will spin around with the tramp downwind in less than a minute if the mast has sufficient bouyancy to prevent turtling in the first place. The SC/ARC mast section is the most streanlined section, Al extrusion, of any sections available for two person boats. What more could you ask of a mast, more streamlined and prevents turtling.
