I would like to ask you if you could tell me your mast weight and if you are using righting aids when sailing 1up? Of course skipper weight would be helpful to scale your answers to my own weight (76 kg's nowdays <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />).
Reason for this question is that I finally managed to arrange proper weighting of my alu wing mast. My mast weighted 18.1 kg's (with internal dh and mast foot), rest of the stuff was weighted separately and were 4.1 kg's (i.e. spreaders, diamond wires, trapeze's stuff and standing rigging). Tip weight was 8.5 kg's without spreaders or diamonds. I think that it was discussed some point that wall thickness was made bigger in extrusion but difference in weights were not posted here and my mast is not a special case as Gato weighted his 18 kg's.
