I have not been reading this whole thread but why would you want to be able to right your boat in any condition? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
IMHO if you go over in anything under 10-15kts maybe you should consider staying on the beach or something <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
And if you want 100% certainty that you can right in any conditions maybe you should have spent some more cash and bought the light carbon mast instead. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
