There are some more information about the T Carbon mast and the vote on the German class butt. web pages.

http://babelfish.altavista.com is helpful.
Doesn't say anything about increased performance tough, only one-design considerations and safety..
I have to agree that the rig changes was a good thing for the T, but are not sold on the carbon stick yet. I would really like to see some performance comparisons between alu. masts and carbon masts first.
Dont get me wrong, if the carbon mast is consistently faster, I'm all for it!
