Hi all,

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.
