MauganH17: I guess they are on some inland lakes in middle europe, still grumbling about the new rig

Marstrøm has made carbon T masts for quite some time, and he is all for the change (he is the one who submitted the proposal to the ITA). It is true that the masts differ, and that olympic teams buys different masts to find one they like.

But for the weekend warriors, and other T sailors who like to compete now and again it is a lot of money. These are the people who might vote against a carbon mast..

I would like to see the performance gains documentet before I shell out the money for a carbon mast. There has also been a quite long and heated discussion on the German T forum:
