manufacturers should include with every boat a simple, no-muscle, mast-raising system so even a woman or a child can raise the mast alone
Really people, do you think this is the solution ?
For years, we have had carbon A-cat masts and lightweight alu mast that put shame to the 118 KG have Wave and its comparably weighted mast and the total effect is zilch.
First thing we here is : "Gee, those carbon masts are expensive" and the second point is that I really doubt that we would see any growth in the sport is all Hobie 16 masts were replaced by the CHEAPER and superior Taipan 4.9 that weight less.
Pardon me please for my directness but this is silly. Nobody buys a Yamaha ZZR1100 top of the line motorcycle because its fuel tank cap is so easy to undo.
