I agree with Mike that I won't ever go back to an aluminum mast (it's almost like sailing with a spinnaker - once you try it you just can't go back...). I didn't even like lifting the 30' aluminum mast on my previous P19, much less one 2 feet longer. <br> <br>I don't think this should be a problem, though, since even the EU iF20 rule allows carbon masts as I understand it. <br> <br>Alan Thompson <br>I20 - San Diego<br><br>
