Cost of the carbon mast from Marstrom will be held at 2860 EURO (~$3500 USD) with all fittings. Cost of an alloy mast with all fittings is nearly 1700 EUR0 (~$2100 USD)...a diff of $1400...where is the $5000 increase coming from? Whole boat is ~$22,000 USD...about a 6% price change for a carbon mast rig.

Minimum weight to be 15 kg...end weight to be set prior to final production by Marstrom.

Why do you say the section thickness will be the same as alloy, thus making a very stiff stick? I see no mention of it in the proposal:
