Is the comp tip (ONLY THE TIP / WHEEL AT TOP?)
I bought 2 used boats - one is all alum. One has I think comp tip (top part seems like plastic) I think the comp is for saftey? BUT REALLY is it that much safer? If it's only the top 6"? If raising near power lines we'd touch the lines with mast not the tip. So far I prefer the aluminum... sail goes up easier. In stepping, not sure why, the black anodized with comp tip was much harder. If there's a weight dif - would be minuscule since the part is so small? But I'm a total newbie -
