New Masts on RL24's
The boat that I sail on has a very old mast. We have re rigged it with new wires and have played with the set up of the mast and still find that it falls away at the top to much. We are looking and thinking of getting a new mast for the boat. Now the boat is a Mk 2 swing keel. I have priced up a new Gold Spar mast ( RL Skiff Rig ) and it is $2200 ex Sydney for the section. Now I have been look around for other options and have found a carbon fibre section that will cost around the same landed to use as the gold spar section. The carbon fibre section is from NZ and with the great $$$$$ exchange rate it is looking a good option. Now the rules say we can play with the boats and change most things on them. Is going a carbon fibre rig going to far ? Dave
