Its not the one that bent. This stuff is realy strong no sign of bending over the last year. The tube slides freely in and out of each other (even after a couple of hard tips especely one at gillies when the mast took full impact and made a grove about 3 metres lond in the lake. I think the mast with freight was about $350
The tubing is aircraft quality (had to use it when I built my trike thats how I come to have the adress) The mast that bent all the time was
Bottom section /scaff tube --- did not bend
Top sections / t5 -- bent and did not return to shape that is why I bit the bullet and got Bob to make my mast.
Cheers

Thankyou landyacht for posting Pigs Might Fly (PMF) in the register. I'll see how I go at copying the rig set up I like how you and Ross combined the rotation with sheeting to reduce the amount of work a pilot has to get through sailing.

Speaking of the other yachts in this 'class' I see a great pic of 'Croc' on page 120 of Sue's excellent book Hint, hint everyone (its a GREAT read ).

I had a good little smile from that remark paul, especially seeing as none of the paddocks are ours Hope to start posting some photo's really soon

P.S. Im not saying how much sail area im playing with, you'll all have to wait and see
