I've read in several recent posts mention of people wanting (or dare I say lusting for) carbon superwing masts on F16's. Although I've also read these are readily available on A-cats, unless I've missed it, I have yet to see them available on any F16 (understanding that the carbon mast on the stealth is not a superwing mast).

So what's the story here - are they now available (or are they perhaps rumored or expected to soon be available)? Since the aluminum superwings are so good, what will be the benefit of a carbon mast? I would guess it might be a little lighter and maybe the stiffness could be tuned for sailor weight and/or desired mainsail luff shape, but would that be worth the extra cost? I would bet they would be less durable, both to damage and UV. Sexy, yes; practical or better I'm not sure...
Thanks for the input,
