Klaus…thank you for your response. I must not have communicated my wishes effectively…It’s not quite “I just want to build it” it’s “I just want to build it after I have a competent engineer provide a laminate schedule” I don’t want to go into the mast building business…I just want to build one mast…the protocol you suggest, while it would eventually get me to where I want to go…if I live long enough…LOL , is to put it nicely the long way around. And even if I got the proper stiffness it wouldn’t tell me if the laminate could endure the loads placed on it till it was put to use on the water…I don’t want to re-invent the wheel when it has already been invented. If I was to get this involved in prototyping and testing I agree that buying one would be a “give away” in comparison. I am not at all put off by your expressions…I understand your reasoning and have conducted such testing for hull laminating schedule for a 86’ military patrol boat prototype…after the laminate was calculated by a marine engineer…as a verification, not as a starting point.

Mike…Wasn’t trying to paint you as a naysayer...I just knew going into this that it is so hard to get a straight answer to a straight question...

I have no delusion of directly competing with a Bimare, Hall or any other viable commercial mast builder. My mast will be slightly heavier, slightly weaker but also way less expensive (if my time is not factored in) ….and I am alright with that. Just want to use my knowledge/experience with composites to build my own one-off carbon mast...to do that all I need it the laminate schedule...and profile shape...a sample..a left over cut off just long enough to make a template... say 3" … would be nice for reference...

I have come to the conclusion after writing all this that I have been asking the wrong question here….What I really need to know is where can I get the necessary information about a superwing and it’s properties to provide to an engineer to calculate a composite mast. My father-in law is a structural engineer at Kennedy space center, I am sure he can do this in his sleep if I can provide him with all the necessary information.
