There is a little problem here :

If the Guck, Ogletree and Geabler teams are all on top with the carbon masts than that says very little about the carbon rigs. They are the highest ranking sailors in the participating fleet.

However when some of these teams are NOT at the top of the listing then is does say something about the carbon masts.

So while

might have had the top three finishers all carbon masts


Says very little, the following POSSIBLE occurance

Quote

the top three finishers all alu masts


Would say alot, namely that the new carbon was still inferiour to the alu rigs or that the teams are still coming to grips with the new rig.
