Yes, I was commenting on quality and not consistancy. The quantity and layup of the carbon can me more widly adjusted than a aluminum mast can. The quantity or resin can also be tightly controlled. You all were talking a/b one designs and masts earlier, so I figured it did belong here. The A cats are one design, but different masts for different people. Stiffer sections for heavier skippers....etc

I think it's kinda nice to be able to see more change when shifting weight. Increased sensetivity to weight is just one more thing to consider when sailing a high performance boat. You don't see F1 drivers running around the course and never braking or shifting.

On a side note, what good is a high tech fast/efficent design if you can't push it hard? I would rank sailability high on the list of speed producing factors.
