Maybe the next thing in beach cats will be a second set of diamond wires and spreaders, just like big boats
The Mystere Viper that was on our beach for a while had two sets. 34' mast. That was a mast that would bend in several directions at once. I think it has a carbon mast now.
On mine I stripped the power coat off, treated the bare alum. with a corrosion block and etch. I then clear coated it with Imron and after three years I have a couple small spots that started to bubble up under the clear. They were easy to clean up and spot in.
