kato said..N1GEL said..Tardy said..2 piece Carbon mast
the 1 piece fibreglass ones where shocking 9/10
the alu masts were even more shocking. Sketching sailing in a lightening storm
Worse when they broke, 4 stiches in the arm
Yup, I believe broken Al masts were recycled into surgical scalpels.
By the way, I'll be betting the difference in conductivity between carbon fibre and aluminium is not significant. Especially in a thunderstorm, Mr Franklin.
Downhauls that use pulleys, instead of a combined downhaul/rope uni with a special knot you could never remember (ah the old Bombora) : 8/10
